Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Here at ARMO, our customers run production Kubernetes clusters that face the open internet every day. That’s the reality of modern cloud-native infrastructure — your ingress controllers, API gateways, and load balancers are the front door, and threat actors are constantly rattling the handle.

AI risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with artificial intelligence systems to ensure they are developed and used responsibly. It involves using frameworks like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework to address technical, ethical, and social challenges, including data bias, privacy violations, and security vulnerabilities.

SOC 2, which stands for Systems and Organization Controls 2, is a framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to evaluate controls for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. As agentic AI systems begin acting autonomously, AI and SOC 2 compliance become closely linked. These systems drive new efficiencies, but also introduce new risks.

The CertKit Agent 1.6 is out. Three things in this release, all of them coming from the same underlying problem: the shorter certificate lifespans get, the more certificate deployment has to behave like real software deployments.

Your systems are fully patched. Your vulnerability scanner comes back clean. But are they actually secure?

Why do most Kubernetes security tools fail teams in practice? Because they treat deployment and security as separate problems. A true Kubernetes security deployment service embeds scanning, policy enforcement, and runtime monitoring directly into the deployment flow — so risky workloads never reach production in the first place. Why isn’t shift-left security enough on its own?

What is container registry security? Container registry security is the set of practices, tools, and policies that protect container images from tampering, unauthorized access, and vulnerability exploitation. It covers four core areas: access control (who can push, pull, and delete images), vulnerability scanning (identifying known CVEs in image layers), image signing (cryptographic verification that images haven’t been modified), and content trust (ensuring images come from verified publishers).

Why do most Kubernetes security tools miss runtime threats? Most Kubernetes security tools were built to scan configurations and images, not to watch what’s actually happening in clusters. They tell you what might be wrong but can’t show what’s actually being attacked. Static scanning finds theoretical risks—a CVE exists somewhere in your container image.
