Topic: Attacking Container Infrastructure: Docker and Kubernetes Weaknesses
Abstract: Containers play a crucial role in digital transformation, enabling rapid deployment of cloud-native applications. Though considered secure, container systems have vulnerabilities that stem from the state of their configuration. As organizations increasingly adopt containerized environments to improve scalability and agility, threat actors are evolving to exploit weaknesses within the container infrastructure. In this webinar, we will explore pen testing for Docker and Kubernetes, which act as the backbone of modern DevOps pipelines. Through live demonstrations and case studies, this session will discuss how red teams detect and exploit vulnerabilities within Docker and Kubernetes and deploy backdoors. Attendees will also gain insights into how attackers target containerized workloads and learn strategies to build more resilient, secure environments.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding containers and container security
- Identifying common misconfigurations and attack vectors in Docker and Kubernetes
- Applying real-world exploitation techniques in container red teaming
- Recognizing container image vulnerabilities, exposed dashboards, and privilege escalation
- Exploring container breach attack vectors: access to lateral movement and persistence
- Implementing best practices for hardening container infrastructure and mitigating threats
