The Kubernetes 1.27 release brings multiple enhancements and security updates, providing users with an improved, more flexible, and secure platform for building and managing containerized applications. This post will provide an overview of the security-related updates and most significant enhancements in v1.27.

This post discusses how GitHub Actions can enhance the security of CI/CD pipelines by automating security-related tasks and providing integration with other security tools, version control, access control, and auditing. These days, security has become more important than ever in software development processes. With cyberattacks becoming increasingly frequent and sophisticated, organizations must prioritize security throughout their software development lifecycle to protect their systems, data, and users.

Learn about Kubernetes compliance challenges, consequences of non-compliance, and get guidance on maintaining a secure and compliant cloud environment in a dynamic Kubernetes setup. Kubernetes is a leading open-source platform for automating containerized applications’ deployment, scaling, and management. With the growing adoption of cloud, hybrid, and multicloud environments, the topic of Kubernetes compliance has become increasingly pertinent.

ARMO Platform has added the CIS EKS benchmark. Now, with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) users can add this specific benchmark to the frameworks already available to them.

RBAC management is crucial to securing a Kubernetes cluster and ensuring compliance with regulations and industry standards. ARMO Platform includes an RBAC visualizer allowing administrators to see which privileges are assigned to any given user. Role-based access control—commonly known as RBAC—is the practice of assigning access to an organization’s resources whereby the level of access privilege depends upon an individual’s role in the organization.

Container adoption in enterprises continues to grow, and Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for deploying and operating containerized applications. At the same time, security is shifting left and should be addressed earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Security has morphed from being a static gateway at the end of the development process to something that (ideally) is embedded every step of the way. This can potentially increase the effort for engineering and DevOps teams.

We are happy to announce that ARMO Platform users can now utilize ChatGPT to quickly and easily create custom controls. ARMO is the first Kubernetes security company to offer this kind of integration. Read all about it 👇

In this article, we examine the impact of a shared responsibility model on end-user security administration in managed Kubernetes environments. We also explore typical difficulties and effective methods for securing these environments.

The popular open-source platform Kubescape by ARMO has been recently announced as a fully managed operator called a Charm for Canonical’s Charmed Kubernetes distribution. This collaboration between Canonical and ARMO is exciting for the solution it enables for end users, ultimately resulting in hardened and more secure Kubernetes environments.

Kubescape, an end-to-end open-source Kubernetes security platform, embarks on a new journey. Kubescape, created by ARMO, will fully migrate to the CNCF. This coincides with the launch of ARMO Platform, a hosted, managed security solution powered by Kubescape.
