KTP Research Associate in Cybersecurity of the Kubernetes Platform
Found in: beBee jobs GB - 2 weeks ago
Job description
The Department of Informatics is looking to appoint a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team for a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project, jointly funded by Innovate UK, ControlPlane and King's College London. In this exciting role, you will bridge the gap between academia and industry, applying formal methods to real-world security challenges in the Cloud Native space: you will be working on KubeSec-AFM, a prototype to formally assess the security posture of Kubernetes clusters.
Kubernetes is a Cloud Native technology that is changing the way software applications are deployed and run in Cloud by providing automated deployment, scaling and management capabilities. Therefore, ensuring its security is critical. Existing methods to ensure Kubernetes' security rely on maintaining databases of human expertise, cyber-attacks, and platform misconfigurations. However, it is currently impossible to compile a complete list of potential risks to guarantee that teams can securely use Kubernetes. This may leave critical Cloud infrastructure exposed. The main aim of this job is to use formal methods to assess Kubernetes security and enable companies to optimise cost and risk and ensure the security of critical cloud infrastructure.
The key objectives are: (i) develop a formal mathematical approach to ensure Kubernetes security, (ii) build a prototype to assess live deployments and determine state of insecurity / misconfigurations, (iii) produce a technology-maturation roadmap to transform this prototype into a commercial product.
The successful candidate will report to the Business Partner Supervisor, Francesco Beltramini (Head of Technical Solutions), and will work closely with Prof. Luca Viganò and Dr. Fabio Pierazzi from the Department of Informatics at King's College London, who provide support and guidance.
ControlPlane is a Cloud Native and Open Source cybersecurity consultancy with industry-leading expertise in securing cloud infrastructure for regulated industries. ControlPlane excels in securing Kubernetes and Cloud Native stacks for numerous customers (international banks, UK and Scottish Government - including Innovate UK, Critical National Infrastructure, and other major cloud providers).
The staff and students of the Department of Informatics come from all over the world and the department is proud of its friendly and inclusive culture. For further information about the Department of Informatics at King's, please see The successful candidate will be a member of the Cybersecurity Group and of the Security Hub, please see and
