Abstract

In the last decade, security policies have become increasingly complex and much more dynamic, making it significantly harder to manage them. In this session, we explore Policy-as-Code (PaC) for implementing decoupled security practices across the stack. Key topics include Open Policy Agent (OPA) rules and policies for API gateways, Kyverno for Kubernetes security, Tetragon and Tracee for eBPF, and Casbin and Oso for authorization. Attendees will learn how PaC unifies policy management and enforcement, providing better security, compliance, and risk management while reducing manual intervention.

Key takeaway

Using Open Policy Agent (OPA) for policy management, eBPF for security detection on containerized workloads, and authorization-as-code frameworks for RBAC
