Rebuilding Trust in the Software Supply Chain on Kubernetes
in-personThis session looks at how software supply chain attacks affect Kubernetes teams and what can be done about them. The session will explain how trust is lost across dependencies, build pipelines, and container images, and how it can be rebuilt using signed artifacts, provenance, SBOMs, and admission control. The talk will then connect these ideas to CNCF projects that can help enforce policy in Kubernetes, namely Kyverno, in-toto, and ORAS. The focus will be on practical ways to verify container images, understand their contents, and reduce the risk of deploying untrusted or compromised software
