Container & Kubernetes Security

Hardening images, clusters and runtime across EKS, AKS, GKE and self-managed Kubernetes.

Overview

Containers and Kubernetes move fast and are easy to misconfigure. We review clusters against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark and NSA/CISA hardening guidance, secure images and registries, and put admission control, network policy and runtime detection in place.

What’s included

CIS Kubernetes and Docker Benchmark review
RBAC, service account and namespace isolation review
Image scanning, base-image hardening and registry security
Admission control and policy-as-code (OPA Gatekeeper, Kyverno)
Network policies and service mesh security
Runtime threat detection and secrets management

What you receive

  • Cluster security findings
  • Hardened configuration baselines
  • Policy-as-code library
  • Retest
Layer by layer

Every layer of your cloud, reviewed.

We work through the same layers in AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, so results are comparable across providers.

How it works

How an engagement runs.

  1. Scope & access

    Agree accounts, subscriptions and projects in scope and set up read-only review access.

  2. Review configuration

    Identity, network, storage, logging, encryption and workloads against CIS Benchmarks and provider guidance.

  3. Validate risk

    Confirm which issues are genuinely reachable and exploitable, so effort goes where it counts.

  4. Harden & guard

    Risk-ranked fixes, infrastructure-as-code changes and guardrails, followed by a retest.

FAQ

Questions we hear often.

Do you support managed Kubernetes?

Yes: EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift and self-managed clusters.

Can you help secure our CI/CD for containers?

Yes. Image scanning and signing in the pipeline is often delivered together with our DevSecOps service.
