Nikita Jha is a student attending Northview High School in Georgia, USA. Nikita joined the HPCC Systems Intern Program to work on a project that supports our Cloud Native platform, which was released early in 2021. Security is a vital part of any system and Nikita worked with the team, focusing on Docker security components, including providing an option for enabling/disabling the cache as well as running a number of different vulnerability scanners and analysing the results. Her project also include looking at security practices for Kubernetes. She has produced a tutorial style blog demonstrating how to setup HashiCorp Vault as a Certification Manager on the HPCC Systems Cloud Native platform and another blog on using caching with Docker is planned to be released in the Fall. As well as the resources included here, read Nikita's intern blog journal which includes a more in depth look of her work.

Poster Abstract
With cybersecurity attacks becoming more prevalent in the United States every year,organizations are constantly looking for ways to improve the security outlook of their platforms.
