Kubernetes is Highly Configurable. Don’t Let That Superpower Power Become Your Security Weakness.

According to CheckPoint, global cyberattacks increased by 38% in 2022 compared to 2021. This was largely due to small, agile gangs of hackers exploiting the collaboration tools that became popular in the work-from-home environment created by the Covid 19 pandemic.

Sadly, small companies that experience data breaches often don’t last long in this unprecedented age of complexity and interconnectivity. That’s why security is king.

When we integrate new technologies with traditional IT environments, there’s always the chance that unforeseen security challenges will arise. Containers, in particular, pose difficulties because their needs stretch across all aspects of their integration, from development to deployment and maintenance.

Red Hat’s recently released report, State of Kubernetes Security in 2022, suggests that “the highly configurable options within Kubernetes can result in security risks; 9 in 10 respondents have experienced one or more Kubernetes security incidents within the past year.” That’s an alarming rate!
