Kubernetes has become a vital component in cloud-native infrastructure, enabling organizations to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. However, compliance is crucial to modern infrastructure, especially for businesses that handle sensitive data. Organizations that adopt Kubernetes must thus also be sure to maintain the security of their infrastructure, as well as address compliance requirements to meet regulatory standards.

In today’s digital landscape, compliance with industry frameworks is vital for businesses, Kubernetes environments are no exception. That being said, Risk Score is an illusive term. It is inconsistent between scanners and is ultimately hard to explain to stakeholders. Introducing a meaningful Compliance Score, now available on ARMO Platform.

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. Kubernetes is a powerful platform for managing containerized applications at scale, but configuring a Kubernetes cluster can be complex and challenging.

Kubescape is an open-source, CNCF sandbox, end-to-end Kubernetes security tool designed to assess the security posture of Kubernetes clusters created by ARMO. It helps identify security risks and misconfigurations that could potentially be exploited by attackers, and provides automatic assistance to remediate them. Kubescape was launched less than two years ago, in August 2021, and already has more than 8.3K stars on GitHub, and over 100 open-source contributors.

Kubernetes is an open-source platform that enables the management of containerized applications with ease. The platform is portable and flexible, working across various environments, including Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
