Otomi is an open-source, cloud-agnostic, Kubernetes application configuration and automation platform. Under the hood, Otomi leverages several OSS and CNCF projects like Calico, OPA Gatekeeper, Istio, Harbor to enhance security. Security is an ever-growing concern for organizations. Gartner predicts that 99% of all security incidents by 2025 will be due to misconfigurations. This talk will demonstrate, how teams can use Otomi to manage container and network security policies with sane defaults on Kubernetes through an intuitive web interface, thereby avoiding the need to write any YAML configurations that are prone to errors. A recorded video/demo is used to showcase a couple of use-cases using the integrated security best practices in Otomi to reduce the attack surface when running applications on Kubernetes.
