IT security administrators
IT security engineers
DevOps engineers
Cloud developers
Cloud architects

Impact on the organization

Containers and container orchestration platforms, such as OpenShift and Kubernetes, have become pervasive in enterprise computing. Container environments have introduced new attack vectors, exploits, and vulnerabilities. Enterprises require strong security, and the migration to containerized microservices has upended traditional network-based security models. Developers must prove that their code, images, and deployments are trusted and secure.

This course is intended to develop the skills needed to maintain a high level of security in the evolving world of containerized applications and OpenShift installations. OpenShift is an enterprise-grade, container-based application platform that provides the mature security of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and additional mechanisms of security assurance for service role access control, build process hardening, source image layered trust, and controlled deployment management. These security features may help your organization efficiently reduce risk of security breaches, which have a high cost in business disruption, brand erosion, loss of customer and shareholder trust, and financial costs for post-incident remediation. In addition, your organization may be able to use the tools in this course to help demonstrate that compliance requirements set by customers, auditors, or other stakeholders have been met.

Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, but each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual results or benefits may vary.
