Course Description

Vulnerabilities in software and IT infrastructure, if exploited, can pose a major threat to organizations. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) developed the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) certification to verify a Kubernetes administrator’s proficiency to protect a Kubernetes cluster and the cloud native software operated in it. The exam is different from the typical multiple choice format of other certifications. It’s based on performance and requires deep knowledge of the tasks at hand—under intense time pressure. Are you ready to pass the test on the first go?

Join expert Ben Muschko to dive into all the topics covered in the exam curriculum, so you’ll be fully prepared to pass the test. You’ll also benefit from Ben’s personal experience with preparing for all aspects of the exam.
