How do I keep my Kubernetes cluster secure? I do it with the open-source tool Kubescape – a popular CNCF security tool for Kubernetes. In this video, I go over how you can get started with Kubescape as well as the SaaS platform ARMO.

Kubernetes has become one of the most popular platforms for running cloud-native applications. This popularity is due to several factors, including its ease of use and ability to handle stateless applications. However, running stateful applications, such as databases and storage systems, on Kubernetes clusters is still debatable. In other words, does Kubernetes and its containerized ecosystem provide a solid and reliable infrastructure to run such critical applications?

The challenge of administering security and maintaining compliance in a Kubernetes ecosystem is typically the same: an increasingly dynamic, ever-changing, ephemeral landscape. Changes can be rooted in new approaches to cyberattacks or changing regulations. Kubernetes security requires a complex and multifaceted approach since an effective strategy needs to.

Let’s face it, the tech world is a whirlwind of constant evolution. AI is no longer just a fancy add-on; it’s shaking things up and becoming part and parcel of various industries, not least software development. One such tech marvel that’s stealthily carving out a significant role in our software supply chain is OpenAI’s impressive language model – ChatGPT.

Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto standard for container orchestration, enabling organizations to manage and scale their applications efficiently. However, with this increased adoption comes the need to address security concerns within Kubernetes environments. The following blog post will explore the concept of ignoring security findings as a means of prioritizing fixes effectively.

Gartner expert analysts use the following guidelines and approach to identify and research Cool Vendors. A vendor must be considered innovative, impactful, or intriguing in either the products or the IT services sectors. Cool Vendors are not limited to technology coolness. However — coolness may also include services or unique business models.

Scanning containers’ images is not enough, pinpointing the CVEs that impact your security posture is key. Public images are a key component of the cloud-native ecosystem. Also known as container images, they are pre-built and publicly available software packages that contain all the necessary dependencies and configurations for an application to run in a containerized environment.

We are thrilled to announce that ARMO, the makers of Kubescape and ARMO Platform, has successfully obtained the SOC 2 certification. This achievement underscores ARMO’s unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security, privacy, and operational excellence for its customers and users. With the SOC 2 certification, ARMO demonstrates its dedication to safeguarding customer data and fortifying trust in its platform.

Kubernetes has become a vital component in cloud-native infrastructure, enabling organizations to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. However, compliance is crucial to modern infrastructure, especially for businesses that handle sensitive data. Organizations that adopt Kubernetes must thus also be sure to maintain the security of their infrastructure, as well as address compliance requirements to meet regulatory standards.

In today’s digital landscape, compliance with industry frameworks is vital for businesses, Kubernetes environments are no exception. That being said, Risk Score is an illusive term. It is inconsistent between scanners and is ultimately hard to explain to stakeholders. Introducing a meaningful Compliance Score, now available on ARMO Platform. The new Compliance Score offers a user-friendly method to assess compliance levels. It measures control-specific compliance and overall framework compliance.
