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 security controls.
- Safeguard node metadata and endpoints.
- Minimize the use of and access to GUI elements.
- Verify platform binaries prior to deployment.
Cluster Hardening
- Restrict access to the Kubernetes API.
- Implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to minimize exposure.
- Exercise caution when using service accounts: for example, disable defaults and minimize permissions on newly created accounts.
- Keep Kubernetes updated frequently.
System Hardening
- Minimize the host OS footprint to reduce the attack surface.
- Reduce IAM roles to the necessary minimum.
- Minimize external network access.
- Appropriately use kernel hardening tools such as AppArmor and seccomp.
Minimizing Microservice Vulnerabilities
- Establish appropriate OS-level security domains (e.g., using PSP, OPA, security contexts).
- Manage Kubernetes secrets effectively.
- Utilize container runtime sandboxes in multi-tenant environments (e.g., gvisor, kata containers).
- Implement pod-to-pod encryption using mTLS.
Supply Chain Security
- Minimize the base image footprint.
- Secure the supply chain by whitelisting allowed image registries and signing/validating images.
- Use static analysis for user workloads (e.g., Kubernetes resources, Docker files).
- Scan images for known vulnerabilities.
Monitoring, Logging, and Runtime Security
- Conduct behavioral analytics of system calls, processes, and file activities at the host and container levels to detect malicious activities.
- Identify threats within physical infrastructure, applications, networks, data, users, and workloads.
- Detect all phases of an attack, regardless of where it occurs or how it spreads.
- Perform deep analytical investigations to identify malicious actors within the environment.
- Ensure the immutability of containers at runtime.
- Use Audit Logs to monitor access.
