Course Outline
Cluster Setup
- Implement Network security policies to limit cluster-level access
- Leverage CIS benchmarks to audit the security configuration of Kubernetes components (etcd, kubelet, kubedns, kubeapi)
- Configure Ingress objects with appropriate security controls
- Safeguard node metadata and endpoints
- Reduce the use of and access to GUI elements
- Validate platform binaries prior to deployment
Cluster Hardening
- Limit access to the Kubernetes API
- Utilize Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) to minimize exposure
- Manage service accounts carefully, such as disabling defaults and restricting permissions on new accounts
- Maintain frequent Kubernetes updates
System Hardening
- Reduce the host OS footprint to lower the attack surface
- Streamline IAM roles
- Limit external network access
- Apply kernel hardening tools like AppArmor and seccomp appropriately
Minimizing Microservice Vulnerabilities
- Establish appropriate OS-level security domains using tools like PSP, OPA, or security contexts
- Manage Kubernetes secrets effectively
- Employ container runtime sandboxes in multi-tenant settings (e.g., gvisor, kata containers)
- Enforce pod-to-pod encryption via mTLS
Supply Chain Security
- Keep base image footprints minimal
- Protect the supply chain by whitelisting approved image registries and signing/validating images
- Apply static analysis to user workloads (e.g., Kubernetes resources, Dockerfiles)
- Scan images for identified vulnerabilities
Monitoring, Logging, and Runtime Security
- Conduct behavioral analytics of syscall processes and file activities at host and container levels to identify malicious actions
- Identify threats across physical infrastructure, applications, networks, data, users, and workloads
- Detect every phase of an attack, regardless of its origin or propagation method
- Carry out deep analytical investigations to identify malicious actors within the environment
- Maintain container immutability during runtime
- Use Audit Logs to track access activities
Requirements
- CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) certification
Target Audience
- Kubernetes practitioners
