Kubernetes & Container Security

Containers and Kubernetes introduce security boundaries that conventional infrastructure reviews may not assess in sufficient depth. We evaluate the environment from an attacker’s perspective, starting from scenarios such as a compromised pod or an over-permissioned service account and tracing possible paths towards the cluster, nodes and protected workloads.

Coverage spans the Kubernetes environment. We review RBAC and the control plane for privilege-escalation paths, pod and workload security for weak isolation and dangerous capabilities, and runtime configuration for container-escape paths to the host. We trace the software supply chain through images, registries and CI/CD pipelines, look for exposed secrets and assess whether network policies segment internal traffic as intended. Testing is benchmarked against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark for EKS, AKS and GKE.

The assessment is led by security engineers and combines automated checks with manual validation. You receive findings validated through controlled exploitation where appropriate, rated by practical impact, mapped to relevant CIS controls and MITRE ATT&CK for Containers, with remediation guidance and an option to re-test completed fixes.
