Let’s Go Backstage: IDP Security for Platform Engineers

This talk explores how Backstage, an open-source platform for building developer portals, can be integrated with Kubescape to enhance Internal Developer Platform (IDP) security for platform engineers. The speakers demonstrate how to leverage Backstage plugins to achieve end-to-end Kubernetes security coverage, providing real code examples for building a secure IDP. They highlight how combining Backstage and Kubescape enables scanning known inventory and clusters, improves understanding of security posture, and visualizes results in a customized Backstage dashboard.
