How to Prevent Your Kubernetes Cluster From Being Hacked | Nico Meisenzahl
Prevent your Kubernetes cluster from being hacked by implementing security measures throughout the DevOps lifecycle, including code testing, vulnerability scanning, and secure deployment practices.
- The majority of Kubernetes clusters (60%) have been compromised, and the number of security incidents has increased over the past 12 months.
- Weaknesses in Dockerfiles, vulnerabilities in dependencies, and misconfigured Kubernetes policies are common entry points for attackers.
- ePPF (Embedded Platform Protection Framework) is a tool that helps secure the software supply chain by providing an initial package freeze and code signing.
- Tetragon is a tool that provides a secure way to build and run containerized workloads, using a distroless Linux environment and code signing.
- Chainguard’s Wolfie is an open-source tool that provides software bill of materials (SBOM) and allows for signing and validation of images.
- To prevent clusters from being hacked, it’s essential to implement security measures throughout the DevOps lifecycle, including code testing, vulnerability scanning, and secure deployment practices.
- Image verification, code signing, and Kubernetes policy management are critical components of a comprehensive security strategy.
- The importance of shifting left and integrating security into the development process cannot be overstated.
- Considering the tooling available, such as Milosh, Epico, Cosine, and Kripe, can greatly simplify the process of building and securing containerized applications.
