Boosting Kubernetes Security: Exploring KubeSec — A Must-Have Tool for Safeguarding Your Cluster

KubeSec is another tool to help improve the security of our Kubernetes cluster. And we’re seeing so many agencies focus on security to highlight this topic’s importance in modern architectures and deployments. Security is a key component now, probably the most crucial. We need all to step up our game on that topic, and that’s why it is essential to have tools in our toolset to help us on that task without being fully security experts on each of the technologies, such as Kubernetes in this case.

KubeSec is an open-source tool developed by a cloud-native and open-source security consultancy named ControlPlane that helps us perform a security risk analysis on Kubernetes resources.

How Does KubeSec Work?

KubeSec works based on the Kubernetes Manifest Files you use to deploy the different resources, so you need to provide the YAML file to one of the running ways this tool supports. This is an important topic, “one of the running ways,” because KubeSec supports many different running modes that help us cover other use cases.

You can run KubeSec in the following ones:

• HTTP Mode: KubeSec will be listening to HTTP requests with the content of the YAML and provide a report…
