Kubernetes Pod Security

INSECURE POD CONFIGURATIONS ARE A COMMON CAUSE OF SECURITY BREACHES IN KUBERNETES

Prevent Container Breakouts

Securing Kubernetes Pods is essential to prevent container breakouts. In Kubernetes, a Pod is the basic unit of deployment and management. Each Pod contains one or more containers with the same lifecycle and identity.

Without proper pod security, attackers can leverage workload vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to escape the container and obtain access to sensitive data such as Secrets, enabling misuse.
