Gatekeeper is a Kubernetes admission control and policy enforcement engine used to ensure cluster resources comply with organizational security and configuration standards. It intercepts API requests to validate or reject non-compliant resources before they are persisted in the cluster. The project uses a parameterized policy library and custom resource definitions to create reusable templates and enforcement rules. It distinguishes itself through a hub-and-spoke management model, allowing a controller in a management cluster to enforce policies across separate target clusters. Beyond admiss
Falco is an eBPF runtime security monitor and cloud native detection engine that identifies abnormal behavior and security threats across hosts and containers. It functions as a Linux kernel event auditor, capturing system calls and kernel events in real-time to detect malicious activity. The system distinguishes itself through a rule-based threat detection model that evaluates system activity against a library of community-maintained rules and custom security definitions. It enriches raw kernel events with container and Kubernetes metadata to provide observability into isolated environments
kube-bench is a Kubernetes security benchmark scanner and configuration auditor. It verifies if a cluster adheres to the Center for Internet Security standards and other hardening guides to identify security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. The tool operates as a containerized security scanner, utilizing host namespaces to analyze nodes and control plane components without requiring the installation of binaries directly on the host. It supports multiple Kubernetes distributions, applying environment-specific benchmarks to ensure auditing accuracy for managed services. The project cover
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
