“The Federal Government must adopt security best practices; advance toward Zero Trust Architecture; accelerate movement to secure cloud services, including software as a service (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and platform as a service (PaaS); centralize and streamline access to cybersecurity data to drive analytics for identifying and managing cybersecurity risks; and invest in both technology and personnel to match these modernization goals.”
What’s needed to secure the public sector is just as necessary for the private sector. Kubernetes is now essential in the ever-growing SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS spaces. So creating a zero trust architecture designed to secure Kubernetes is vital to addressing enterprise cybersecurity needs in the 2020s and beyond.
It’s time to get candid—securing Kubernetes is no walk in the park. Containers may have a lifespan of mere days. Different cloud platforms have different networking and security tools, and each platform has a unique API. Your public key infrastructure (PKI) in the cloud needs to assign and revoke machine identities at a rapid pace, most often in the form of certificates.
