The immense performance efficiencies of Kubernetes can be nullified if they are not hardened appropriately. Kubernetes Hardening Guide from NSA discusses it in good detail. MITRE container security also advocates the security best practices from the attacker's perspective. KubeArmor is the best example of how to achieve NIST & MITRE conformance out-of-the-box. The authors have done a great job of explaining key concepts from the basics, I highly recommend it to Kubernetes practitioners.”

Kubernetes is the de facto Cloud Operating System, yet securing it efficiently and effectively presents a wide-ranging challenge. KubeArmor's use of eBPF for runtime security positions it amongst the next generation of security-enhancing technologies, and this book outlines key concepts in an easily comprehensible format suitable for a wide range of practitioners."

Effective security controls are precise, tailored and targeted.  KubeArmor’s approach of leveraging eBPF for kernel telemetry and LSMs for inline remediation provides the deep and precise control needed to thwart advanced zero day attacks. The authors have done an excellent job of explaining key concepts for this new and powerful system.”

KubeArmor achieving tremendous downloads and 1,200+ GitHub stars is a remarkable testimony to how well it is being received by the CNCF community. KubeArmor belongs in every K8 engineer’s open-source tool chest, and consequently, this book is a 'must-read' for every Cloud Native engineer."

Kubernetes has now fully emerged as the de facto Cloud Operating System. Just like in any OS, it is now important to harden and protect it. Linux Security Modules (LSMs) have been used for decades to provide very strong, fundamental proven security. Leveraging these primitives to provide an "armor" to Kubernetes is a natural progression and KubeArmor has achieved this very well. This book is a superb overview that all Cloud Security personnel will benefit from!"

KubeArmor's pioneering use of eBPF for kernel telemetry and LSMs for direct remediation redefines strategies to combat advanced zero-day threats, achieving a significant recognition in the CNCF community, as reflected by its remarkable download numbers and GitHub stars. This publication explores why KubeArmor's  is deemed critical for every Cloud Native engineer, acclaimed for its straightforward explanation of intricate security principles. It rectifies and hardens  Kubernetes vulnerabilities by enhancing performance and complying with Zero Trust security guidelines. The book demystifies advanced security techniques for a wide audience, from beginners to experts, and its highly recommended for everyone involved in Kubernetes deployment and hardening it as per NIST and MITRE security standards.”
