Kubernetes and Containers Review
Comprehensive review of your Kubernetes and containerised environments. We assess the security, configuration, and deployment practices, providing expert advice to enhance the security and efficiency of your container orchestration and management.
Interceptica focuses on assessing the security posture of your Kubernetes cluster.
Kubernetes itself is a container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerised applications. While it offers many benefits, it also introduces new security considerations.
Interceptica's area of focus:
Our experienced security analysts will review the configuration of the Kubernetes cluster itself, analyze how applications are deployed and secured, and assess how well the cluster is monitored for potential security incidents.
Cluster Configuration
Our experienced security analysts will review the configuration of the Kubernetes cluster itself. This includes examining aspects like authentication and authorisation, network policies, and pod security policies to ensure they follow security best practices.
Deployment Security
The review will analyse how applications are deployed and secured within the cluster. This includes container image scanning, secrets management, and ensuring applications follow the principle of least privilege.
Cluster Monitoring
The review will assess how well the cluster is monitored for potential security incidents. This includes log management, intrusion detection systems, and regular vulnerability scanning of Kubernetes components and deployed applications.
Kubernetes Security Assessment
Our comprehensive Kubernetes security assessment examines all aspects of your container environment to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

Kubernetes Security: A Detailed Look
Kubernetes Security Assessments
These assessments involve thorough evaluations of Kubernetes clusters to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential security gaps. This includes reviewing cluster architecture, network policies, access controls, and authentication mechanisms to ensure compliance with best practices and industry standards.
Container Image Scanning
Cybersecurity firms often provide container image scanning services to identify security vulnerabilities, outdated software components, and malware within container images before they are deployed to Kubernetes clusters. This helps prevent the introduction of security risks into production environments.
Runtime Monitoring and Intrusion Detection
Continuous monitoring of Kubernetes clusters during runtime is essential for detecting suspicious activities, unauthorised access attempts, and potential security breaches. Security companies offer solutions for real-time monitoring, log analysis, and intrusion detection to identify and respond to security incidents promptly.
Access Control and Identity Management
Implementing robust access controls and identity management solutions is crucial for securing Kubernetes clusters. Cybersecurity firms offer services for configuring role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and integration with identity providers (IdPs) to enforce least privilege principles and prevent unauthorised access.
Network Security and Segmentation
Securing network communications within Kubernetes clusters is essential for protecting sensitive data and preventing lateral movement by attackers. Security companies provide services for implementing network policies, encryption, and segmentation to isolate workloads, control traffic flow, and mitigate the risk of network-based attacks.
Security Automation and Orchestration
Automation plays a significant role in Kubernetes security by enabling rapid response to security events, policy enforcement, and remediation of vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity companies offer solutions for automating security tasks, such as vulnerability scanning, policy enforcement, and incident response, to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.
Compliance and Governance
Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards is a top priority for organisations deploying Kubernetes in production environments. Security companies offer services for assessing compliance, conducting audits, and implementing controls to meet regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and others.
What makes it different?
Benefits of a Kubernetes Review:
Improved Security Posture
By identifying and addressing security weaknesses, a Kubernetes review can significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks targeting the cluster and containerised applications.
Early Detection of Threats
A thorough review can help establish strong monitoring practices, enabling early detection of potential security incidents.
Compliance with Regulations
Many industries have regulations that require organisations to secure their IT infrastructure. A Kubernetes review can help ensure compliance with relevant security standards.
