DevSecOps is a collaborative practice that incorporates security into the development and delivery of software. DevSecOps encourages a culture where security, development, and operations teams collaborate closely; this collaboration ensures that security considerations are understood and implemented by everyone involved in the software development lifecycle.

In my previous blog post, I talked about the eighth use case from the list of nine things you cannot implement using basic Kubernetes network policy — the ability to log network security events. In this final blog post of the series, we’ll be focusing on one last use case: the ability to explicitly deny policies.

Ensuring the security of containerized workloads has become a top priority given the accelerated adoption of managed Kubernetes services. The complexity of hosting these workloads securely in the cloud necessitates a comprehensive array of security measures. Among these, network policies and encryption stand out as indispensable prerequisites for safeguarding sensitive workloads in a shared, multi-tenant environment.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud-native applications built with containers and Kubernetes, webhooks serve as the communication backbone, facilitating seamless integration between various components, especially in the realms of security, networking, and troubleshooting. This is further amplified when combined with popular collaboration tools such as Jira and Slack.
