Description: Kubernetes security refers to the measures and practices implemented to protect Kubernetes clusters, which are widely used container orchestration environments today. This security encompasses multiple layers, from the proper configuration of clusters to identity and access management, ensuring that only authorized users and services can interact with resources. Implementing a Zero Trust security approach is fundamental, where it is assumed that no entity, whether internal or external, is trustworthy by default. Additionally, security information and event management is crucial for monitoring and responding to incidents in real-time. Cloud security posture also plays an important role, as Kubernetes is often deployed in cloud environments, requiring constant vigilance and the application of appropriate security policies. IoT security becomes relevant when connected devices are integrated into the Kubernetes ecosystem, adding complexity to security management. Finally, container security is essential, as containers can be vulnerable if not managed properly. Tools like security scanners and antivirus solutions can be integrated to provide an additional layer of protection, ensuring that container images and clusters are free from malware and other threats.
