Kubernetes Security Services
Secure, Monitor, and Harden Your Kubernetes Environment
Kubernetes (K8s) has become the foundation for modern cloud-native
applications, but misconfigurations, security gaps, and compliance
risks can expose your clusters to cyber threats. Unprotected
Kubernetes environments are vulnerable to data breaches,
unauthorized access, and runtime attacks, making security a top
priority.
At SNM Consulting, we help organizations secure Kubernetes workloads, enforce best practices, and achieve compliance through a comprehensive Kubernetes security strategy.

Why Kubernetes Security Matters?
AI-driven solutions bring efficiency, automation, and insights, but they also pose challenges such as:
Misconfigurations & Attack Surface
Default settings often leave clusters exposed, increasing risk of exploitation
Lack of Network Isolation
Poorly defined network policies can lead to lateral movement and container hijacking.
Unauthorized Access & Privilege Escalation
Weak RBAC controls can allow unauthorized users to execute privileged commands.
Container & Software Supply Chain Risks
Unverified container images can introduce vulnerabilities and malware
A strong Kubernetes security posture ensures resilience,
compliance, and protection against emerging threats.
Our Kubernetes Security Services
Kubernetes Security Posture Assessment
We conduct a detailed security review of your Kubernetes
infrastructure to identify misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and
compliance gaps.
Security Misconfiguration Analysis
- Assess API Server, Kubelet, ETCD, and control plane configurations.
- Detect over-permissive roles, exposed secrets, and unauthorized access points
Workload Security Review
- Identify insecure container runtime settings, weak authentication, and privilege escalation risks.
- Enforce best practices for secure pod deployment.
Compliance & Risk Assessment
- Align your Kubernetes security with CIS Benchmarks, NIST, PCI- DSS, and industry regulations
- Generate detailed risk reports with remediation recommendations.
Network Policies & Microsegmentation
We design and implement Kubernetes-native network policies to
enforce least privilege access and contain lateral movement.>/b>
Zero-Trust Network Segmentation
- Implement namespace isolation, pod-to-pod access control, and network segmentation.
- Prevent unauthorized communication between workloads and services
Ingress & Egress Traffic Security
- Define strict ingress/egress controls to prevent data exfiltration
- Secure API endpoints and external access to Kubernetes clusters
DDoS & Threat Prevention
- Deploy WAF and threat detection mechanisms to block malicious traffic and brute-force attacks.
- Implement rate limiting and network monitoring to mitigate attacks.
Regulatory & Compliance Alignment
We ensure your Kubernetes infrastructure aligns with security
frameworks and industry-specific regulations.
Security Framework Implementation
- Enforce security best practices from CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, NIST, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA.
- Automate compliance scanning and reporting to meet audit requirements.
Kubernetes Audit Logging & Monitoring
- Enable Kubernetes audit logs to track suspicious activities and unauthorized access.
- Implement real-time monitoring and alerting for security incidents.
Continuous Compliance & Policy Enforcement
- Deploy OPA/Gatekeeper and Kyverno to enforce security policies at scale.
- Automate compliance enforcement in CI/CD pipelines
RBAC & Identity Security
We harden Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to
enforce least privilege access and identity management.
RBAC Policy Hardening
- Define fine-grained access controls to prevent unauthorized privilege escalation
- Limit cluster admin access and enforce role-based least privilege principles
Identity & Access Management (IAM) Integration
- Integrate Kubernetes authentication with OIDC, LDAP, and cloud IAM providers
- Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) and SSO for Kubernetes clusters.
Secrets & API Key Protection
- Secure secrets, environment variables, and API tokens from unauthorized access
- Use Kubernetes Secrets Manager and Vault-based encryption.
Runtime Threat Detection & Response
We deploy security monitoring and runtime protection solutions to
detect and respond to threats in real-time.
Container Runtime Security
- Monitor running containers for anomalous behaviors, process injection, and privilege escalation attempts.
- Enforce runtime protection policies using Falco, Sysdig, and Aqua Security.
Intrusion Detection & Threat Intelligence
- Deploy intrusion detection systems (IDS) and threat intelligence feeds.
- Detect suspicious API calls, unauthorized network connections, and cryptojacking attacks.
Automated Incident Response
- Implement automated threat response playbooks for containment and remediation.
- Enable forensic analysis and root cause investigation for Kubernetes incidents
Container & Supply Chain Security
We secure the entire Kubernetes software supply chain, from
container image scanning to deployment security.
Container Image Security & Signing
- Scan images for vulnerabilities, malware, and misconfigurations before deployment.
- Implement container image signing and verification (Cosign, Notary, Sigstore)
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Management
- Maintain an SBOM to track open-source dependencies and third-party risks.
- Ensure compliance with U.S. Executive Order on Cybersecurity.
CI/CD Security & DevSecOps Integration
- Implement secure CI/CD pipelines with automated security testing.
- Enforce policy-as-code and GitOps-driven security practices.
