Deepfence's #CNAPP platform is being adopted at record rates to secure #kubernetes in the ☁️.
However, regardless of whether you're adopting a CNAPP to protect your ☁️, you need good security hygiene for your infra. Today's 🧵 tackles best practices for #kubernetes security!
Network Segmentation
By using network policies, it is possible to restrict the communication between different parts of the cluster, reducing the attack surface.
Least Privileged Access
All the components in a Kubernetes cluster should run with the minimum necessary privileges to perform their function, to reduce the risk of exploitation of vulnerabilities.
Secrets Management
Kubernetes secrets should be encrypted and stored securely. They can be managed using tools like Hashicorp Vault or Kubernetes own secrets management system.
Image Signing and Scanning
All images used in the cluster should be signed and scanned for vulnerabilities to reduce the risk of running malicious or outdated images.
Proper RBAC Implementations
Using RBAC, it is possible to define fine-grained access control for the different components of the cluster and for users, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Regular Backups
Regular backups of the cluster state should be taken to ensure that the cluster can be restored to a known good state in case of data loss or corruption caused by an attack or a failure.
Hopefully some of these best practices put you at a good and equitable starting point to combat the increasing rate of threat actors within Kubernetes environments!
