Managed Kubernetes security

As organizations increasingly adopt managed Kubernetes services like Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, and AWS containers, securing these environments becomes a top priority.

Managed services offload some operational responsibilities but introduce unique security challenges that demand focused strategies. This module offers cloud security teams practical insights to protect managed Kubernetes deployments and ensure compliance across multi-cloud environments. 

The topics covered in this section include: 

• EKS Security: Dive into best practices for securing Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters. Learn how to configure role-based access, implement network policies, and monitor workloads for vulnerabilities. 

• AKS Security: Explore security measures for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), focusing on identity management, secure configuration, and incident response planning tailored to Azure’s managed Kubernetes environment. 

• AWS Containers Security: Understand how to safeguard containerized workloads on AWS, with guidance on securing container registries, runtime environments, and leveraging AWS-native tools for monitoring and threat detection. 

This module empowers teams to secure managed Kubernetes environments with confidence. By implementing vendor-specific recommendations alongside universal security principles, practitioners can establish a resilient cloud-native architecture that meets performance, stability, and security expectations.
