Kubescape is a security platform for Kubernetes that provides tools for scanning clusters, configurations, and container images against industry compliance and security benchmarks. It functions as a suite of security utilities, including a compliance auditor, a misconfiguration scanner, and a container vulnerability scanner.
The project differentiates itself through automated remediation and active enforcement. It can automatically patch operating system vulnerabilities in images and fix security errors within manifest files. It also utilizes an admission controller to block the deployment of workloads that violate predefined security policies.
The platform covers a broad range of security operations, including runtime threat detection via system probes, the generation of network policies to restrict unauthorized communication, and continuous configuration monitoring. It further supports security auditing by verifying clusters against regulatory frameworks.
