Linux containers allow both developers and IT
operations to create a portable, lightweight, and
self-sufficient environment for every application.
However, securing containerized environments
is a significant concern for Dev/Sec/Ops teams.
However, securing containerized environments
is a significant concern for Dev/Sec/Ops teams.
The Container Security Expert course provides the
tools, techniques, and tactics to audit, secure, and
monitor containers in production environments.
Container Security Expert is the training
program for professionals tasked with securing
the container environment. The course allows
you to get hands-on experience as you work
with live containers in our lab, gaining significant
insights that will arm you to attack and secure a
containerized infrastructure in any environment.
The CCSE course takes you through the container
basics, core components of container technology,
and ways to interact with the container. Once you
learn the fundamentals, you will gain hands-on
experience with realistic attack scenarios like
privilege escalation, container breakouts, and
security misconfigurations. We will finish the
course by hardening the container environment
and monitoring the container workloads.
