This course provides the skills and knowledge on a broad range of best practices for securing container-based applications and Kubernetes platforms during build, deployment and runtime.
This course is ideal for anyone holding a CKA certification and interested in or responsible for cloud security.
This course exposes you to knowledge and skills needed to maintain security in dynamic, multi-project environments. This course addresses security concerns for cloud production environments and covers topics related to the security container supply chain, discussing topics from before a cluster has been configured through deployment, and ongoing, as well as agile use, including where to find ongoing security and vulnerability information. The course includes hands-on labs to build and secure a Kubernetes cluster, as well as monitor and log security events.
The course, along with real-world experience and study, will provide the skills and knowledge also tested by the Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) exam.

Highlights:
Earning the Kubernetes Security Essentials (LFS260) certification gives cloud and DevOps professionals practical expertise in securing Kubernetes environments and containerized applications across modern cloud-native infrastructure. The course provides in-depth knowledge of Kubernetes security best practices covering cluster hardening, workload protection, networking security, supply chain security and runtime threat detection. Participants learn how to identify and mitigate security risks throughout the container lifecycle - from cluster setup and deployment to monitoring and incident response - enabling them to confidently support secure cloud-native operations in enterprise production environments.
The programme also develops hands-on operational skills in areas such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Kubernetes API security, network policies, secrets management, vulnerability scanning and runtime security monitoring. Learners gain practical experience securing Kubernetes clusters, detecting security threats and implementing defence mechanisms aligned with industry best practices for container security and DevSecOps environments. The course further covers cloud-native security concepts including container supply chain protection, CIS benchmark hardening, audit logging and workload isolation techniques used by modern organisations to secure distributed infrastructure and microservices architectures.
The training is especially valuable for Kubernetes Administrators, DevOps Engineers, DevSecOps Professionals, Cloud Security Engineers and Platform Engineers looking to strengthen their expertise in cloud-native security. The course also prepares learners for the globally recognised Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) certification from the Linux Foundation and CNCF, which validates advanced Kubernetes security skills highly sought after in modern cloud infrastructure environments. As organisations increasingly deploy mission-critical workloads on Kubernetes, demand continues to grow for professionals who can secure containerized applications and cloud-native platforms effectively.
From a career and compensation perspective, Kubernetes security and cloud-native security expertise are among the fastest-growing skill areas in the global technology industry. Roles that benefit from this certification include Kubernetes Security Engineer, DevSecOps Engineer, Cloud Security Specialist, Platform Security Engineer and Cloud Infrastructure Security Analyst. In major U.S. technology markets such as Seattle, Austin, San Francisco and New York, professionals with Kubernetes security and DevSecOps expertise commonly earn between $120,000 – $180,000+ per year, with even higher compensation potential available for experienced cloud security architects and platform security leaders.
As professionals gain experience securing Kubernetes environments, implementing DevSecOps practices and managing enterprise cloud-native security initiatives, career opportunities and compensation potential can increase significantly. This certification helps you stand out by formally validating your ability to secure containerized applications, protect Kubernetes infrastructure and support modern cloud security operations - strengthening both career mobility and long-term earning potential in rapidly expanding cloud computing, cybersecurity and DevSecOps industries.
