In this article we discuss about how

  • Kubernetes needs a different security model: Traditional perimeter-based security doesn’t work for Kubernetes due to its dynamic, ephemeral nature. Kubernetes demands a continuous, integrated security approach.

  • DevSecOps is important for Kubernetes: Security must be embedded into every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) — from code, through CI/CD pipelines, to production. DevSecOps ensures security is automated, proactive, and scalable with Kubernetes’ speed.

  • Shift left security: Start security scans (code, images, infrastructure definitions) early in the CI/CD process. Early detection leads to faster fixes, reduces costs, and prevents vulnerabilities from reaching production.

  • Unified visibility is critical: Without a holistic view of workloads, interactions, and threats across the cluster, it’s impossible to prioritize or respond to risks effectively.
