Karthik Prabhakar
Karthik has been involved in the design and production adoption of abstractions used for cloud-native network security approaches since the early days of Kubernetes, and has guided the architecture of numerous high-profile deployments of Kubernetes network security and service mesh/mTLS deployments. He has been a product advisor for a number of early stage startups and assisted with design, community launch, and operational rollout of a number of widely adopted cloud-native runtime and network security products.
Sessions
Implementing mTLS today typically requires multiple abstractions, layers and configuration complexity. Imagine reducing the many steps and configuration artifacts to enable mutual TLS into a single step. Without node-based proxies, sidecars, or additional control planes to manage these and associated complexity. Oh, and reduce latency by a third.
The session will introduce how this can be enabled with a demo of automated mTLS with identity and security policy management and associated observability for cloud-native services. Integration with legacy abstractions and control planes will also be illustrated for coexistence with previously deployed apps and infrastructure.
