CIS Critical Security Control, known now as CIS Controls have recently been updated and revised in the CIS Controls v8 released by the Center for Internet Security (CIS). The CIS Controls are a collection of industry-recognized best practices for businesses dealing with data security risks. Such measures were created to make things easier and keep the IT operations and security teams attention on crucial tasks.

Let’s talk about operational risk and security risk. In the dynamic world of software development, a persistent tension exists between developers and security professionals when it comes to managing operational risk and security risk. Developers prioritize avoiding code disruptions, leading them to implement measures like version locking and reluctance to patch.

The CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) created by the Center for Internet Security (CIS) offer a set of best practices and recommendations that address key areas of system security, such as secure configurations, access controls, and vulnerability management. By following the CIS Controls, organizations can systematically strengthen their systems, reduce the attack surface, and mitigate common security risks.

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration and management, providing a powerful platform for deploying and managing containerized applications. One of the key benefits of Kubernetes is its support for namespaces, which allow users to isolate groups of resources within a cluster, providing a level of isolation and resource allocation for different applications or teams.

ARMO addresses 76% of key concerns highlighted in the Red Hat 2023 Report. We analyzed one of our favorite annual reports – the Red Hat State of Kubernetes security report 2023. It’s chock full of really interesting data on one of our favorite topics: Kubernetes security! (Who knew?!) In this post we’re going to unpack some of the most compelling data points, and compare them to previous years.

Kubernetes is a powerful platform for managing containerized applications at scale, but configuring a Kubernetes cluster can be complex and challenging. In this post, we’ll explore various key considerations for optimizing a Kubernetes cluster, including different cluster, node, and tenancy configurations.
