In a Kubernetes environment, security and compliance are two critical issues that administrators must consider deeply. By adopting a reliable security framework, you can effectively broaden the coverage of certification and regulatory requirements while enhancing system security.
In this presentation, we will explore how to apply the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Critical Security Controls and CIS Benchmarks in a Kubernetes security and compliance program to ensure best practices. Below are the key topics for this presentation:
- Introduction to the CIS organization and its significance: Why CIS is crucial for information system security, and an overview of its Critical Security Controls and CIS Benchmarks.
- CIS’s credibility and its impact: Learn how CIS establishes authoritative security benchmarks, and how Taiwan’s National Institute of Cyber Security references these benchmarks to develop the Government Configuration Baseline (GCB).
- Applying CIS benchmarks in Kubernetes: A walkthrough of key areas in Kubernetes security, including Control Plane Components, Etcd, Control Plane Configuration, Worker Nodes, and Policies, with an explanation of how to put these benchmarks into practice.
- Leveraging CNCF Landscape’s security and compliance projects: How the selection of automation tools from these projects helps in implementing CIS Benchmarks, along with related use cases.
This presentation will provide you with in-depth insights into Kubernetes security and compliance, offering practical strategies and tools to help your organization ensure compliance and improve security.
