Security News > 2022 > April > Principles for Kubernetes security and good hygiene

Traditional methods of software security are not a good fit for Kubernetes: a renewed set of security implementations are required to make it less vulnerable.

With Kubernetes in place, security teams are left with limited visibility into the impact each change has.

There are several areas which provide the necessary hooks to improve runtime security when working with Kubernetes.

The use of direct pod connections, node ports, and advertising service IPs can greatly improve security of Kubernetes based services.

Another notable security framework native to the Kubernetes ecosystem is the PCI DSS Compliance.

Kubernetes security is built on the model of securing in layers - specifically: cloud infrastructure, clusters, containers, and code.
