Our #DEFCONTraining Bahrain Spotlight today is Madhu Akula’s “Securing the Future: Defending Kubernetes & Cloud-Native Infrastructure in the Age of AI” on November 3 & 4.

Defending containerized workloads and cloud-native infrastructure is more critical than ever. Recent security reports indicate that 42% of respondents cite security as a top concern with container and Kubernetes strategies, while attackers start probing new clusters in as little as 18 minutes.

This hands-on, real-world training is designed to equip Blue Teamers, Cloud Security Engineers, Security Architects, and DevSecOps professionals with the skills needed to understand and defend Kubernetes clusters across the supply chain, infrastructure, and runtime layers. The course addresses current threat landscapes including AI/ML workload security, supply chain attacks, and emerging attack vectors identified in recent days.
