Course Outline
Introduction
Cluster Setup
- Use network security policies to restrict cluster-level access
- Use CIS benchmarks to review the security configuration of Kubernetes components (etcd, kubelet, kubedns, kubeapi)
- Properly set up Ingress objects with security controls
- Protect node metadata and endpoints
- Minimize use of and access to GUI elements
- Verify platform binaries before deploying
Cluster Hardening
- Restrict access to the Kubernetes API
- Use Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) to minimize exposure
- Exercise caution when using service accounts, e.g., disable defaults and minimize permissions on newly created ones
- Update Kubernetes frequently
System Hardening
- Minimize host OS footprint to reduce the attack surface
- Minimize IAM roles
- Minimize external access to the network
- Appropriately utilize kernel hardening tools such as AppArmor and seccomp
Minimize Microservice Vulnerabilities
- Set up appropriate OS-level security domains, e.g., using PSP, OPA, security contexts
- Manage Kubernetes secrets
- Use container runtime sandboxes in multi-tenant environments (e.g., gvisor, kata containers)
- Implement pod-to-pod encryption using mTLS
Supply Chain Security
- Minimize base image footprint
- Secure your supply chain: whitelist allowed image registries, sign and validate images
- Use static analysis of user workloads (e.g., Kubernetes resources, Dockerfiles)
- Scan images for known vulnerabilities
Monitoring, Logging, and Runtime Security
- Perform behavioral analytics of syscall processes and file activities at the host and container level to detect malicious activities
- Detect threats within physical infrastructure, apps, networks, data, users, and workloads
- Detect all phases of an attack, regardless of where it occurs and how it spreads
- Perform deep analytical investigation and identification of bad actors within the environment
- Ensure immutability of containers at runtime
- Use Audit Logs to monitor access
