Common security issues

In Kubernetes environments, certain vulnerabilities surface frequently and can significantly impact security if not addressed proactively. These include misconfigurations, overly permissive access controls, and neglected vulnerabilities in container images.

Left unchecked, these issues can create gaps in security, allowing attackers to exploit system weaknesses. 

Key Vulnerability Management Strategies: 

1. Configuration Checks: Regularly audit Kubernetes settings, from network policies to role-based access controls (RBAC). 

2. Secure Image Registries: Always use trusted registries and scan images for known vulnerabilities. 

3. Limit Resource Access: Apply the principle of least privilege to minimize risk across workloads and teams. 

Through consistent vulnerability management, teams can strengthen Kubernetes defenses and reduce risks across the container lifecycle.
