🔒One final thing to do this Cyber Awareness Month - Identify and disable unused service accounts🔒 If compromised, these accounts can be a potential security risk. Regularly review your service accounts and revoke access for those no longer needed❗ You can scan for overprivileged accounts in your K8s operator RBAC with our Bad Robot static analyser https://lnkd.in/eenedNvn #KubernetesSecurity #Cybersecurity #CyberAwarenessMonth

⌛ It’s almost time! #KubeCon NA is just two weeks away!! 💥 The keynotes, the sessions, the demos are all going to be great--but the best part is reuniting with #cloudnative friends and meeting new ones. 💛 ✨ So let’s start with a night to remember! Open Source Security on Tap is bringing the fun and the 🔥with: 🌮 street tacos 🍅 #SLSA 🥑 #GUAC 😎 good vibes!! 🏃➡️ Kickoff KubeCon with Kusari and our friends from ActiveState and ControlPlane.

📑 Have you reviewed your cyber security incident response plan? When was the last time you tested it❓ Consider scheduling a test of your current plan to ensure that it covers data spills, supply chain attacks, electronic discovery, and how to obtain and analyse evidence 🔎 ControlPlane's Table Top Exercises (TTX) have been honoured by participants at the top of the industry https://lnkd.in/gb33Bg3x — and we've open sourced a lot for the OpenSSF 😊 https://lnkd.in/gyTT2tbN #KubernetesSecurity #Cybersecurity #CyberAwarenessMonth

🔐 How long will your TLS certs last? This Cyber Awareness month, consider automatically checking your cryptographic certificates, and setting up monitoring to warn you before they expire ⚠️ Without active TLS certificates, communication between your web applications and your users will no longer be encrypted, risking a malicious party gaining access to sensitive user data if the user ignores warnings and continues anyway 💻 Free tools like https://lnkd.in/gEjdWr6f will notify you of public cert expirations before they happen! And your K8s clusters already auto-rotate their certs automatically with https://lnkd.in/gazutCV5 right? 😊 #KubernetesSecurity #Cybersecurity #CyberAwarenessMonth

🤯 Its Cyber Awareness Month, and a timely reminder to consider when to use RoleBindings vs ClusterRoleBindings in your Cluster. Assign permissions at the namespace level wherever possible to limit the radius of a user's permissions 🌐

🚀 Introduction to the Flux Operator – GitOps on Autopilot Mode 🚀 ControlPlane is thrilled to announce the launch of the Flux Operator, a great addition to the #FluxCD ecosystem! Designed for SREs, Kubernetes Administrators, and DevOps Engineers, this operator automates the lifecycle management of Flux components, streamlining GitOps workflows for Kubernetes clusters. Key Features: 🗝️ Advanced Configurations Made Simple: scaling, multi-tenancy, sharding, and persistent storage. 💻 Automated Flux Management: no more manual updates or installations. 🛡️ Seamless Upgrades: automatic application of the latest Flux version. Core Maintainer Stefan Prodan has written a blog post that explores how the Flux Operator can transform your #GitOps practices in more detail.
