Are you struggling to implement robust container security at scale without creating friction with your development teams? In this episode, host Ashish Rajan sits down with Cailyn Edwards, Co-Chair of Kubernetes SIG Security and Senior Security Engineer, for a masterclass in practical container security. This episode was recorded LIVE at KubeCon EU, London 2025.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

Automating Security Effectively: Moving beyond basic vulnerability scanning to implement comprehensive automation
Bridging the Security-Developer Gap: Strategies for educating developers, building trust, fostering collaboration, and understanding developer use cases instead of just imposing rules.
The "Shift Down" Philosophy: Why simply "Shifting Left" isn't enough, and how security teams can proactively provide secure foundations, essentially "Shifting Down."
Leveraging Open Source Tools: Practical discussion around tools like Trivy, Kubeaudit, Dependabot, RenovateBot, TruffleHog, Kube-bench, OPA, and more.
The Power of Immutable Infrastructure: Exploring the benefits of using minimal, immutable images to drastically reduce patching efforts and enhance security posture.
Understanding Real Risks: Discussing the dangers lurking in default configurations and easily exposed APIs/ports in container environments.
Getting Leadership Buy-In: The importance of aligning security initiatives with business goals and securing support from leadership.
