  • Best practices for handling container images.
  • Recommended scanners for image protection and analysis.

Build Pack Hardening

  • Strengthening container images for security.

Real-time Detection Tools

  • Aqua, Twistlock, Falco, and their roles in real-time detection and behavior analysis.

Infrastructure Design for Security

  • Adopting a secure mindset for infrastructure design.
  • Managing rights and network configurations.

Deployment Strategies

  • Leveraging infrastructure as code.
  • Deploying exclusively through pipelines.

Azure Security Tools

  • Utilizing Azure policies for enhanced security.
  • Leveraging Microsoft Defender for Cloud.

Happy New Year 2024!

Greetings and Happy New Year!

As we step into the promising horizon of a new year, I extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May the coming months be filled with joy, prosperity, and countless memorable moments.

In 2024, my commitment to sharing valuable insights and knowledge remains steadfast. I am thrilled to embark on another year of writing engaging articles and blog posts, focusing on key topics such as:

  • Azure Platform Security
  • Azure Pentesting
  • Kubernetes Security (AKS)
  • Azure Defender (CSPM) / (DSPM)

I absolutely love giving talks, sharing thoughts and having a good conversation with a group of like-minded people. If you’re interested let me know! For those curious about my upcoming speaking engagements in 2024, please find the details: speaking engagements for 2024.

Wishing you all the best in the coming year, and I genuinely hope to meet you in person at one of the events. Let’s make 2024 a year of shared knowledge, growth, and collaborative learning.

AKS | AKS Managed Namespaces Label

Hi!

The introduction of the « kubernetes.azure.com/managedby » label brings a new layer of visibility and control to AKS managed namespaces. This label serves as a marker, indicating the entity responsible for managing a particular namespace within the AKS environment. Whether it’s an individual, a team, or an automated process, this label acts as a key identifier, simplifying the tracking and administration of AKS resources.
