Cilium and eBPF: The Ultimate Duo for Kubernetes Network Security

Cilium, powered by eBPF, is revolutionizing Kubernetes network security and observability. In this session, we’ll explore how eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) enables high-performance, programmable networking within the Linux kernel, allowing Cilium to deliver unparalleled control and visibility for containerized environments.

Discover how Cilium enforces fine-grained network policies, facilitates service mesh capabilities, and detects threats in real time without the complexity of traditional sidecar-based approaches. We'll discuss practical use cases, including traffic filtering, encryption, and runtime security, along with a live demonstration of securing Kubernetes clusters with Cilium. Join us to learn why Cilium and eBPF are becoming the cornerstone of modern cloud-native security strategies.
