Securing Kubernetes Clusters with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security with Exam (DO431)

Address security challenges by applying Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes in an OpenShift cluster environment.
Customers want to learn how Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) can help them solve their security challenges. However, their security teams might lack experience with Kubernetes and OpenShift, and so they have challenges with implementation.  In particular, their security teams have several needs:

Integrate RHACS with DevOps practices and know how to use it to automate DevSecOps, to enable their teams to operationalize and secure their supply chain, infrastructure, and workloads
Assess compliance based on industry-standard benchmarks and get remediation guidance
Apply vulnerability management, policy enforcement, and network segmentation to secure their workloads

RHACS customers might already be using external image registries and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools. They need to integrate RHACS with their existing set of external components to achieve their security goals.
This course is based on Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security 4.6. The Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Advanced Cluster Security Exam (EX430) is included in this offering.
Impact on the Organization
Securing Kubernetes Clusters with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security supports customers who run containerized workloads on Kubernetes, and who often face several security-related challenges:

Delays in container deployments due to security issues
Revenue loss due to Kubernetes-related security incidents
Decreased developer productivity due to time that is spent to address security concerns

This course teaches how RHACS provides actionable solutions to address these challenges, to help teams secure their Kubernetes environments more effectively and to streamline development workflows to include security checks at an early stage.
Impact on the Individual
As a result of attending this course, students will be able to install and use RHACS and to secure their Kubernetes workloads and clusters according to the best industry practice.
Students should be able to demonstrate the following skills:

Installing RHACS Central and importing secure clusters
Troubleshooting and fixing common installation issues
Interpreting vulnerability results and generating reports
Identifying and mitigating risks in deployments
Creating and enforcing build, deployment, and runtime policies
Implementing policy checks in a CI/CD pipeline to secure the software supply chain
Applying network segmentation to reduce attacks
Generating and applying network policies within a CI/CD pipeline by using roxctl commands
Managing and retrieving compliance evidence
Applying third-party integrations for centralized alert notification, backup and restore, and identity and permission management. Describe and implement the RHACS architecture and its components, follow recommended practices for its installation, and troubleshoot common installation issues
Interpret vulnerability scanning results, generate vulnerability reports, and evaluate risks to prioritize your security actions
Implement and enforce RHACS policies across all stages of policy enforcement to secure the CI/CD pipeline and to protect the software supply chain
Identify and close security gaps in network policies by using Network Graph and apply the generated network policies in a CI/CD pipeline
Run in-built compliance scans, and install and run the compliance operator to determine cluster compliance with security policies and standards and to produce reports and evidence of compliance
Integrate RHACS with external components to provide additional functions, which include centralized alert notification, backup and restore, and identity and permission management
