A Bay Area company, Kubernetes Security Operation Center (KSOC), is addressing the security concerns of cloud-native designs and containerization. To discover possible security concerns inside a firm’s infrastructure, the organization employs automated risk triage, which includes role-based access control settings, misconfigurations, runtime events, image vulnerabilities, network exposure, and public cloud context. To detect high-priority threats, the system examines a company’s RBAC settings, misconfigurations, runtime events, image vulnerabilities, network exposure, and public cloud context.
To detect high-priority issues, KSOC’s approach employs a threat vector to decrease the noise of security discoveries from any one aspect of Kubernetes. Last year, the business obtained $6 million in initial investment and polls for Kubernetes misconfigurations in real time, which is an improvement above the traditional process of checking in hours or even days. Misconfigurations are the most common source of security concerns for enterprises implementing Kubernetes, and KSOC’s platform exposes who has access to what RBAC rights.
KSOC ties runtime events to threat vectors, allowing teams to understand not just where their top risks are being exploited in real time, but also where those risks are being exploited. This provides security teams with a viable solution for managing Kubernetes security with their existing personnel.
