Aqua Security sees Kubernetes security from a holistic point of view. It integrates three primary components into its set of tools, allowing Kubernetes users to basically ensure maximum security at every turn.
The first component is Aqua Security’s threat assessment tool known as kube-bench—a CIS compliance tool, which performs in-depth analysis of your Kubernetes environment. The tool integrates more than 100 tests and security metrics, so you get a clear picture of how well the environment is secured at the end of the process.
On the other side of the threat assessment equation lies kube-hunter, another open-source tool that handles penetration tests and looks for known attacks. Similar to kube-bench, kube-hunter relies on known attack vectors and information on your environment’s attack surface. The result of the tests are known vulnerabilities that you can patch right away.
