RX-M, a leading cloud native technology
training and consulting firm, has announced that registration is now open for
the first-of-its-kind Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) training
course. CKS certification signifies an individual's "competence across a broad
range of best practices for securing container-based applications and
Kubernetes platforms during building, deployment and runtime," according to The Linux Foundation.
RX-M's intensive
five-day program, which is also available for private engagements, is designed
to provide technology professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to
pass the CKS exam. The curriculum includes lecture, discussion, demonstrations,
hands on labs, and timed drills, leaving attendees with a clear understanding
of Kubernetes and the essential skills required by Kubernetes administrators
and security professionals.
CKS requires
candidates to hold a current Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)
certification. RX-M is offering a complimentary CKA boot camp to anyone
registering for an open enrollment boot camp for the CKS exam.
"We are thrilled
to be the first and only company providing an intensive hands-on,
instructor-led training course and in-class CKS certification exam," said Randy
Abernethy, RX-M managing partner. "We are uniquely qualified to provide this
training. In addition to participating in the development of the CKS
certification exam, we were also part of the committee that helped the Linux
Foundation formulate the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) and
Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exams."
Skills covered by
RX-M's CKS training include securing Kubernetes installation and configuration,
‘least privilege' network configuration, cluster and system hardening,
appropriate use of encryption, hard multitenancy implementation, supply chain
security and auditing, and Center for Internet Security best practices. To
