In 2023, ensuring your Kubernetes environments are secure should be top of mind for businesses. Kubernetes is an open-source system used to automate software deployment, which is designed for managing and scaling containerized applications. With Kubernetes, developers can easily bundle code up in a container and have it deployed quickly. This makes it easier for businesses to scale horizontally, as opposed to buying larger and more powerful servers.
Since Kubernetes is still relatively new, it can be difficult to find security professionals who are aware of this technology. As Kubernetes becomes more popular, however, the knowledge base will grow. But the challenge still remains – businesses must have a thorough understanding of Kubernetes, and how to properly secure it, before they use it. Because of this, cybercriminals are turning their attention to Kubernetes and organizations without comprehensive knowledge of its security risks could find themselves vulnerable.
It’s important, then, for enterprise leaders to talk to their development and DevOps teams to gain an understanding of not only their goals but also the potential security threats associated with their use of Kubernetes. As organizations take stock of the security measures they have in place, they need to plan and gradually implement security controls that don’t disrupt their prior workflows.
A great way to get started on this journey is to attend the AI Integration & Optimization event in San Francisco from July 11-12. This gathering of top executives is designed to inform leaders about how to incorporate and optimize AI investments for success. From group sessions and networking to case studies, leaders will have the opportunity to discuss best practices and strategies for future investments.
Kubernetes is a game-changer in the world of automation and software development, and experts in the field of IT and security must stay on top of the security risks associated with its use. The AI Integration & Optimization event offers an opportunity for this conversation to take place, and will surely offer great insight into how to make the most of this open-source system.
