Cluster Setup
- Use Network security policies to restrict cluster level access
-
Use CIS benchmark to review the security configuration of Kubernetes components (etcd, kubelet, kubedns, kubeapi)
-
Properly set up Ingress objects with security control
-
Protect node metadata and endpoints
-
Minimize use of, and access to, GUI elements
-
Verify platform binaries before deploying
Cluster Hardening
- Restrict access to Kubernetes API
-
Use Role Based Access Controls to minimize exposure
-
Exercise caution in using service accounts e.g. disable defaults, minimize permissions on newly created ones
-
Update Kubernetes frequently
System Hardening
- Minimize host OS footprint (reduce attack surface)
-
Minimize IAM roles
-
Minimize external access to the network
-
Appropriately use kernel hardening tools such as AppArmor, seccomp
Minimize Microservice Vulnerabilities
- Setup appropriate OS level security domains e.g. using PSP, OPA, security contexts
-
Manage Kubernetes secrets
-
Use container runtime sandboxes in multi-tenant environments (e.g. gvisor, kata containers)
-
Implement pod to pod encryption by use of mTLS
Supply Chain Security
- Minimize base image footprint
-
Secure your supply chain: whitelist allowed registries, sign and validate images
-
Use static analysis of user workloads (e.g.Kubernetes resources, Docker files)
-
Scan images for known vulnerabilities
Monitoring, Logging and Runtime Security
- Perform behavioral analytics of syscall process and file activities at
the host and container level to detect malicious activities
-
Detect threats within physical infrastructure, apps, networks, data, users and workloads
-
Detect all phases of attack regardless where it occurs and how it spreads
-
Perform deep analytical investigation and identification of bad actors within environment
-
Ensure immutability of containers at runtime
-
Use Audit Logs to monitor access
