Aqua Security today unveiled a Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) offering that provides IT teams with a set of policies and controls to automate configuration and compliance of Kubernetes clusters.
In addition, Aqua Security has added a Kubernetes Runtime Protection module that provides an option for using Kubernetes Admission Controllers to deploy security controls as a set of sidecar containers directly on to a Kubernetes pod.
KSPM comes with more than 20 predefined rules available out of the box as well as support for Open Policy Agent (OPA) Rego rules that IT teams can use to build custom rules. These policies work in conjunction with existing Image Assurance Policies developed by Aqua Security to control which containers run in a cluster based on their contents and configuration as well as pod configuration.
In addition, a Kubernetes roles and subjects assessment capability tracks user and service account privileges to identify risks and make remediation suggestions.
