Why is Kubernetes Security Critical?

With increasing adoption of Kubernetes and containerised applications, organisations face new risks that require advanced security measures:
  • Increased Complexity: Containerised applications create intricate architectures, making security more challenging.
  • Multiple Attack Vectors: Each Kubernetes component, from infrastructure to applications, introduces specific risks that must be mitigated.

Key Security Challenges in Kubernetes


According to the fall 2020 edition of the "State of Container and Kubernetes Security" report, 90% of survey respondents had experienced a security incident in their container and Kubernetes environments over the last 12 months.

 

Infrastructure Security

Vulnerabilities at the infrastructure layer put the entire system at risk.

Cluster Security

API server and kubelet vulnerabilities can lead to unauthorised access and disruption.

Container Security

Insecure images and privileged users expose applications to attacks.

Application Security

Vulnerable dependencies, exposed ports, and lack of security in the application pipeline increase the risk of breaches.

Common Kubernetes Attack Vectors

Kubernetes environments are prone to several attack vectors, which include:

  • Infrastructure Compromise: Weaknesses in the underlying infrastructure can lead to breaches.
  • API Server Exploits: Exploiting vulnerabilities in the Kubernetes API server.
  • Container Image Vulnerabilities: Insecure images may contain hidden vulnerabilities.
  • Application Dependencies Exposure: Unprotected dependencies expose the application to risks.

How We Can Help

Kubernetes provides built-in security features, but relying solely on these defaults or misconfigurations can expose your environment to serious threats. While the platform has protections in place, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities. Bion’s Kubernetes-certified engineers offer end-to-end security for your Kubernetes clusters, ensuring that best practices are followed throughout the build, deployment, and runtime phases. Our proactive approach addresses risks at every stage, from securing the infrastructure to protecting running workloads.

Continuous Monitoring

We provide real-time observability and continuous monitoring of your Kubernetes environments, allowing for rapid detection of security issues and immediate response to potential threats.

Kubernetes Security Practices Used

Our comprehensive Kubernetes security practices ensure your clusters are resilient and protected from a range of threats. We focus on hardening the infrastructure by applying advanced policies, such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and privileged user restrictions. Additionally, we secure your workloads through proper application secrets management, image vulnerability scanning, and enforcing network and pod security policies. From CI/CD security to runtime container protection, we ensure compliance with industry standards like CIS benchmarking, providing full observability and secure ingress for your environment.
