Secure Kubernetes with Kubescape

Kubernetes has seen significant adoption among developers, with a 67% increase in 2021, as enterprises migrate to enjoy the benefits of cloud-native applications. However, the platform's complexity poses security challenges, with 59% of respondents in a Red Hat report identifying container security as a threat. Kubescape, an open-source tool developed by ARMO, offers a solution by providing automated security checks within CI/CD pipelines to detect vulnerabilities before deployment. It implements over 70 controls based on established security guidelines and categorizes them into four frameworks: NSA, MITRE, ArmoBest, and DevOpsBest. Kubescape can scan Kubernetes clusters and manifests for security issues, offering risk assessments and solutions. Integrating Kubescape into CI/CD workflows ensures continuous security checks, preventing unsafe deployments. Enterprises are encouraged to treat security as an integral part of the software development cycle, using tools like Kubescape to safeguard their systems.
