Course Outline
Introduction
Cluster Setup
- Utilize network security policies to restrict cluster-level access.
- Apply CIS benchmarks to review the security configuration of Kubernetes components (etcd, kubelet, kubedns, kubeapi).
- Properly configure Ingress objects with appropriate security controls.
- Protect node metadata and endpoints.
- Minimize the use of and access to GUI elements.
- Verify platform binaries before deployment.
Cluster Hardening
- Restrict access to the Kubernetes API.
- Implement Role-Based Access Controls to minimize exposure.
- Exercise caution when using service accounts, e.g., disable defaults, minimize permissions on newly created ones.
- Regularly update Kubernetes.
System Hardening
- Minimize the host OS footprint (reduce attack surface).
- Minimize IAM roles.
- Minimize external access to the network.
- Appropriately utilize kernel hardening tools such as AppArmor, seccomp.
Minimize Microservice Vulnerabilities
- Set up appropriate OS-level security domains, e.g., using PSP, OPA, security contexts.
- Manage Kubernetes secrets.
- Use container runtime sandboxes in multi-tenant environments (e.g., gvisor, kata containers).
- Implement pod-to-pod encryption using mTLS.
Supply Chain Security
- Minimize base image footprint.
- Secure your supply chain: whitelist allowed image registries, sign and validate images.
- Use static analysis of user workloads (e.g., Kubernetes resources, Dockerfiles).
- Scan images for known vulnerabilities.
Monitoring, Logging, and Runtime Security
- Perform behavioral analytics of syscall processes and file activities at the host and container levels to detect malicious activities.
- Detect threats within physical infrastructure, applications, networks, data, users, and workloads.
- Detect all phases of an attack regardless of where it occurs and how it spreads.
- Conduct deep analytical investigation and identification of bad actors within the environment.
- Ensure immutability of containers at runtime.
- Use Audit Logs to monitor access.
