kube-bench
Kube-bench is a security assessment tool designed to evaluate Kubernetes deployments against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark standards. The tool performs automated security checks to verify whether Kubernetes clusters are configured according to established security best practices. The tool operates by executing a series of tests that are defined in YAML configuration files, making it adaptable as security requirements and benchmarks evolve. These tests examine various aspects of Kubernetes security configuration including master node security, worker node security, and control plane components. Kube-bench can be deployed in multiple ways to accommodate different operational environments. It can run as a pod within the Kubernetes cluster itself, requiring access to the host's PID namespace and specific directories to perform comprehensive checks. Alternatively, it can be executed as a Kubernetes job by applying the provided job.yaml configuration file. The tool generates detailed reports identifying security misconfigurations and provides recommendations for remediation based on CIS benchmark guidelines. This enables administrators to identify and address potential security vulnerabilities in their Kubernetes infrastructure before they can be exploited.
