Kubernetes Security Checklist
Breaking Down the Risks. Protect what Matters
Kubernetes is a powerful tool, but its complexity creates significant security risks. To protect your containerized applications, you need a strategy that covers all elements of your cluster.
Critical Areas to Secure:
- Applications & Libraries: Vulnerabilities in OS images or third-party libraries are prime targets for attackers. Protecting these is your first line of defense.
- Kubernetes Control Plane: The heart of your cluster. Access to components like etcd, kubelet, or the API server lets attackers deploy malicious containers, stop servers, or even wipe your entire cluster.
- Nodes & Servers: Unauthorized access to the servers or VMs running your nodes puts your entire environment at risk. Safeguard them to prevent exploitation.
- Declarative Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Standardize and secure your infrastructure. IaC ensures a secure baseline, preventing costly misconfigurations and human error.
