Kubernetes and container security

Hardening for EKS, AKS and self-managed clusters: RBAC that reflects real roles, network policy that actually segments, image provenance, and runtime controls — assessed against CIS benchmarks and the way your teams work.

What usually gets in the way

  • Cluster RBAC granting far more than any role requires.
  • Flat pod networking with no meaningful segmentation.
  • Images pulled from unverified sources, with no scanning gate.
  • Containers running privileged or as root by default.
  • Secrets mounted in plain text or baked into images.
  • No runtime visibility when something behaves unexpectedly.

How we approach it

  • Assess the cluster against CIS Kubernetes benchmarks.
  • Rework RBAC and service accounts to least privilege.
  • Introduce network policy and namespace-level segmentation.
  • Add image signing, scanning and admission control.
  • Move secrets into a managed store with proper rotation.
  • Enable runtime detection and sensible alerting.

What you end up with

  • Clusters that pass a CIS benchmark review.
  • Blast radius contained when a single workload is compromised.
  • A verifiable chain from source to running image.
  • Visibility into cluster behaviour when it matters.
