Use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): RBAC helps in controlling who can access the Kubernetes API and what permissions they have. Ensure that roles and permissions are assigned according to the principle of least privilege.
Enable Audit Logging: Audit logs can provide a trail of events for detecting malicious activity or misconfigurations.
Network Policies: Define network policies to control traffic flow between pods, which can prevent unauthorized network access.
Use Namespaces for Isolation: Namespaces help in segmenting your Kubernetes cluster into sub-clusters, which can limit the impact of a security breach.
Secure Container Images: Use trusted base images and scan images for vulnerabilities.
Pod Security Policies: Define policies that set security standards for pods.
Secrets Management: Store and manage sensitive information using Kubernetes Secrets.
Regularly Update Kubernetes: Keep your Kubernetes version up-to-date to ensure you have the latest security fixes.
Limit Resource Usage: Use resource quotas to avoid DoS attacks caused by resource exhaustion.
Enable TLS for Kubernetes Dashboard: Secure the Kubernetes Dashboard with TLS to prevent data interception.
Use a Service Mesh: Implement a service mesh like Istio for advanced security features like strong identity, powerful policy enforcement, and in-depth telemetry.
