In today’s cloud-native environments, security is paramount, and a "Zero Trust" approach is crucial to ensuring sensitive data remains protected. This lightning talk will demonstrate how to implement a Zero Trust model for secrets management in Kubernetes using the External Secrets Operator (ESO). ESO seamlessly integrates external secret stores with Kubernetes, enabling secure, automated synchronization and distribution of secrets across multiple clusters and cloud providers. We will explore how ESO can source secrets from trusted, external systems with fine-grained access controls. Learn how to ensure only the necessary services can access sensitive data while maintaining complete transparency and control over your secrets management workflow. In just five minutes, you’ll walk away with practical insights into securing your Kubernetes clusters with ESO, and how a Zero Trust approach minimizes attack surfaces while maximizing operational efficiency.
