Portshift announced the company's exhibition in
booth SE30 at KubeCon 2019, held at the San Diego Convention Center from
November 18-21. At the Kubernetes + CloudNative conference, Portshift will
exhibit service mesh-enabled security and feature the company's identity-based
workload protection platform for containers and microservices.
KubeCon is the de-facto Kubernetes developer and user
conference for DevOps professionals as K8s has become the leading container
management platform. However, as adoption continues to grow so do the security
challenges. As a result, it is no longer enough to simply implement the
open-source platform within the enterprise. Organizations today must create a
secure environment between Kubernetes microservices and external IT resources,
which a service mesh enables.
The Portshift identity-based cloud-native workload
protection platform now uses Istio Service Mesh to provide runtime security for
Kubernetes clusters and the associated ecosystem. Portshift runtime security is
an intuitive and centralized way to govern Kubernetes microservices, both
internal services within the Kubernetes cluster or between clusters. The
workload protection provider's security platform creates a dedicated
authentication and authorization verification microservice which can also be
extended to include additional external resources. With Portshift, the
administrator creates a simple security policy that encrypts communications
with a single click.
Expanding on the topic of Kubernetes security,
Portshift's VP of Product Management, Ariel Shuper, is hosting a presentation
on the K8s serverless threat landscape, which differs from container security.
In his discussion, Shuper will provide specific examples, such as how coding
mistakes can expose applications despite the extremely ephemeral workloads. The
talk will show how combining preventative methods with more offensive methods
such as tripwires can provide much better visibility and reduce the risk of
Knative workloads being used as attack vehicles. The presentation will be held
on Wednesday, November 20th at 5:20 pm in room 29ABCD in the upper level of the
San Diego Convention Center during KubeCon.
"As enterprises continue the widespread adoption of
Kubernetes, it will become increasingly important that cloud-native
identity-based protection is in place," said Zohar Kaufman, VP R&D,
Portshift. "With Portshift, administrators receive runtime security for
mission-critical Kubernetes clusters to centralize the protection of
microservices. As a premier venue for the discussion around K8s security, we
look forward to meeting with show attendees on this important subject."
Portshift will present the company's
identity-based workload protection platform for Kubernetes in booth SE30.
