Description

The Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) Practice Test Course is a comprehensive, hands-on program designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to secure containerized applications and Kubernetes platforms effectively. This course is tailored to prepare candidates for the CKS certification exam by focusing on real-world scenarios, practical tasks, and detailed coverage of all key security domains.

Through a series of carefully crafted practice tests, you'll dive deep into critical Kubernetes security concepts, including cluster setup, hardening, and runtime security. You'll gain expertise in securing the Kubernetes control plane, configuring RBAC, implementing network policies, and applying advanced system hardening techniques. The course also emphasizes modern security challenges like supply chain vulnerabilities, CI/CD pipeline protection, and runtime threat detection.

You’ll learn how to:

• Set up secure Kubernetes clusters with TLS, etcd backup, and node protection.

• Harden Kubernetes components and minimize attack surfaces.

• Implement Pod Security Admission, network policies, and restrictive security contexts.

• Scan container images for vulnerabilities and enforce trusted image signing practices.

• Protect sensitive data using Kubernetes Secrets and secure inter-service communication with mutual TLS.

• Monitor, log, and detect runtime threats using tools like Prometheus, Fluentd, Falco, and Auditd.

• Respond to security incidents and troubleshoot real-world security challenges.

The course includes domain-specific practice tests, full-length mock exams, and scenario-based challenges to reinforce your understanding and build confidence in tackling security issues in Kubernetes environments.

Whether you are preparing for the CKS exam or looking to deepen your Kubernetes security expertise, this course offers everything you need to succeed. By the end, you’ll not only be ready for the certification but also skilled at securing Kubernetes workloads in production environments.
