Tigera: DoS protection in Kubernetes with Calico XDP

Denial of service (DoS) attacks in Kubernetes can bring down containers, pods, nodes, or entire clusters. This type of attack can cause all pods running on a node to be kicked out, resulting in nodes being unavailable. In this session, you will learn about DoS attack mitigation using Calico XDP (eXpress Data Path). The session will focus on: You will come away with an understanding of Calico XDP and how to use it effectively to protect against DoS attacks.

Tigera: Hands-on workshop: Cyber Threat Protection Strategies & Tactics for Kubernetes

Due to the ephemeral, dynamic and highly distributed nature of Kubernetes deployments, they are vulnerable to cyber attacks. In this interactive workshop a Kubernetes security expert will help you design how to protect Kubernetes environments from cyber threats. This 90-minute hands-on lab with your own provisioned Calico Cloud environment is designed to provide more complete knowledge on how to implement.
