Kubernetes Security Baselines
Designs and enforces security baselines for Kubernetes clusters using Pod Security Standards, CIS Benchmarks, admission controllers, and network policies to harden workloads against common attack vectors.
SupaScore
84Best for
- ▸Implementing Pod Security Standards across production Kubernetes clusters
- ▸Hardening self-managed Kubernetes control plane against CIS Benchmark findings
- ▸Designing network policies for multi-tenant namespace isolation
- ▸Creating admission controller policies to prevent privilege escalation
- ▸Establishing RBAC least-privilege architecture for development teams
What you'll get
- ●Step-by-step Pod Security Standards implementation with namespace-specific enforcement levels and exception handling
- ●Complete network policy manifests with default-deny rules and application-specific allow policies
- ●Kyverno or OPA Gatekeeper policy definitions with image registry controls and security context requirements
Not designed for ↓
- ×Application-level security vulnerabilities in containerized code
- ×Cloud provider managed service security (EKS/GKE control plane hardening)
- ×Container image vulnerability scanning and remediation
- ×Kubernetes cluster installation and initial setup
Current Kubernetes cluster configuration, security requirements (compliance mandates, threat model), and existing security controls (PSP/PSS, RBAC, network policies).
Comprehensive security baseline implementation plan with specific Kubernetes manifests, policy configurations, and enforcement strategies.
