This requirement reduces risk in cloud workload and container security by ensuring kubernetes security is defined, consistently implemented and demonstrably effective across cloud environments. It supports the organization's need to secure cloud-based assets, data and services while managing cloud-specific risk.
Harden Kubernetes clusters, API access, RBAC, admission controls, namespaces, network policies, secrets, node security and audit logging. Validate configuration continuously.
