The K8s network (security) effect

Around 20 years ago I had the privilege of joining a young company that invented the Firewall – Check Point. I learned most of my networking knowledge and skills at Check Point and, at that time, I was involved in the high end, rapidly evolving internet. This might be the reason why I truly believe that network security must be a layer in the overall security strategy. A few years ago, I came back to Check Point as a cloud security product manager.

As you may have heard, a massive breach of Microsoft Exchange servers was revealed in the last several weeks. The attack is not over yet. We can always wait for another attack and blame another vendor, but when it comes to Microsoft, well, who can we rely on after that? SolarWinds, Centreon and now Microsoft Exchange… With almost 80% enterprise market share, the Exchange holds the biggest secrets of our times, and now nobody knows where they went.

Kubernetes secrets are the nativere sources for storing and managing sensitive data, like passwords, cloud access keys, or authentication tokens. You need to distribute this information across your Kubernetes clusters and protect it at the same time. When sending your password to each node in your cluster, it’s critical to ensure that only authorized entities—users, services, or workloads—are able to access it.
