OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten – K05: Inadequate Logging and Monitoring

by

Kubernetes is a dynamic, distributed system that orchestrates containerised applications at scale. Given its complexity, logging and monitoring are essential for:

Security Incident Detection: Identifying unauthorised access, suspicious activity, or potential breaches.

Performance Optimisation: Detecting bottlenecks, resource exhaustion, or application failures.

Compliance and Auditability: Meeting regulatory requirements such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2.

Operational Stability: Ensuring smooth functioning of services, reducing downtime, and proactively resolving issues.

OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten: K01:2022 – Insecure Workload Configurations

by

Kubernetes has revolutionised container orchestration, providing software developers and architects with a scalable and efficient way to manage workloads. However, its complexity also introduces a range of security vulnerabilities, as highlighted by the OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten 2022. The first entry, K01:2022 – Insecure Workload Configurations, is a critical concern, as improperly configured workloads can expose applications to exploitation, data breaches, and unauthorised access.
