Kubernetes Security with AiVRIC
Continuously Harden Kubernetes Clusters and Prove Control Effectiveness
Kubernetes accelerates delivery, but it also multiplies your attack surface—from control plane configuration and RBAC, to network policies and pod security. AiVRIC helps you secure EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters by continuously assessing risk, guiding remediation, and mapping Kubernetes controls to the compliance frameworks auditors expect to see.
The Kubernetes Security Challenge
Container orchestration introduces dynamic infrastructure, ephemeral workloads, and shared responsibility between platform, security, and application teams. Without a common operating picture, gaps appear quickly.
- Multiple managed services (EKS, AKS, GKE) and self-managed clusters across environments
- Complex RBAC, service accounts, and namespace isolation to manage at scale
- Pod security, network policies, and ingress/egress paths that change with every release
- Limited, scattered evidence to prove that cluster controls are working as designed
How AiVRIC Supports Kubernetes Security Use Cases
AiVRIC applies its cloud assessment and AI-driven analytics engine to Kubernetes, giving you a single place to understand cluster posture, prioritize misconfigurations, and export control evidence for audits and customer due diligence.
Cluster & Namespace Discovery
Discover Kubernetes clusters across your cloud accounts and environments, inventory namespaces, workloads, and services, and understand which components touch sensitive data and critical applications.
RBAC & Least-Privilege Visibility
Analyze roles, role bindings, and service accounts to identify wildcard permissions, cluster-admin assignments, and cross-namespace access that violate least-privilege principles.
Pod Security & Network Controls
Surface workloads running as root, privileged containers, missing Pod Security policies, and namespaces without network policies, then provide targeted guidance to harden these high-impact controls.
Compliance Mapping & Evidence
Map Kubernetes configuration and monitoring controls to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, NIST CSF, and CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, with exportable evidence that aligns cluster posture to your broader compliance program.
Outcomes You Can Expect
With AiVRIC, platform and security teams gain a sustainable operating model for Kubernetes:
- Faster identification and remediation of misconfigurations across all clusters
- Clear ownership of issues across platform, security, and application teams
- Continuous evidence that Kubernetes controls support SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and NIST
- Reduced risk of privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exposure from cluster issues
- Executive-ready reporting that explains cluster risk in business and compliance terms
Example Kubernetes Security Use Cases with AiVRIC
Organisations use AiVRIC to solve specific Kubernetes security and compliance problems, while building a reusable foundation for future work:
- Production Cluster Hardening: Baseline existing EKS/AKS/GKE clusters against CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks and NSA–CISA guidance, then track remediation over time.
- RBAC & CI/CD Governance: Analyse service account permissions granted to CI/CD pipelines, eliminate wildcard privileges, and enforce least privilege across namespaces.
- Network Segmentation in Multi-Tenant Clusters: Validate network policies, ingress controllers, and service exposure in clusters that host workloads for multiple business units or customers.
- Audit-Ready Kubernetes Evidence: Export cluster configuration, logging, and monitoring controls into artefacts aligned to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and internal policy requirements.
Extend AiVRIC with Kubernetes Security & DevSecOps Services
AiVRIC can be deployed as a stand-alone automation platform or combined with Kubernetes security and DevSecOps advisory services from AiVRIC’s certified service partners. Together, they form a Kubernetes Security Accelerator that covers architecture reviews, baseline design, hardening runbooks, and integration with your CI/CD and observability stack.
