Continuing the Cloud Security Flight Simulator series, join SEC540: Cloud Native Security and DevSecOps Automation author Ben Allen for a webcast on Kubernetes admission control. 

Kubernetes admission controllers play a critical role in enhancing the security of a Kubernetes cluster. They act as gatekeepers, intercepting requests to the Kubernetes API server before requests are processed and stored by the cluster. Learn how admission control policies written in Common Expression Language (CEL) or Open Policy Agent (OPA) Rego can enforce crucial policies such as denying  containers using non-approved base images and stopping containers with invalid image signatures.
