Kubernetes Secure Configuration Assessment overview

  •  Review your deployment to identify misconfigurations that may allow privilege escalation, unauthorised access to secrets, or lateral movement across the environment. 
  •  Cover both self-managed and cloud-based Kubernetes deployments, including platforms hosted in Azure and AWS.
  •  Identify real, exploitable risks and provide practical recommendations to strengthen controls and protect critical workloads.

CyberCX can also provide a Kubernetes Container Breakout assessment, which evaluates the risk of escaping a compromised pod to access the underlying node or broader environment.
