Kubernetes security: New tech, familiar attack vectors

Source:-enterprisersproject.com With Kubernetes, some old threat vectors may feel new again. Kubernetes security experts say misconfigured settings and privilege mistakes are examples that can open up risk.

Container security meets Kubernetes: What IT pros need to know

Source:-techrepublic.com Docker brought containers into the enterprise; static scanning makes sure they are secure when the images are created. Who watches them when they run? Docker made it possible to have an exact copy of the core elements of the operating system and the application code in a single, manageable file. BusyBox, the simplest production-ready Docker image, is only 2.1MB. That is small enough to check into version control and small enough to copy around on the network. It’s small

Why Kubernetes Needs More Network Visibility And Protection

Source:-informationsecuritybuzz.com Kubernetes’ popularity has skyrocketed. In 2018, Forrester declared it the victor in the “war for container orchestration dominance”. However, a 2019 Gartner report highlights both the immaturity of the container ecosystem and a general lack of operational best practice. Another issue is that Kubernetes adoption can significantly increase both internal application and associated management-related traffic. This is because it is designed to use small detached chunks of an application that communicate using a company’s internal network (including internal cloud
