Top Kubernetes Security Risks & Best Practices

Is your Kubernetes environment truly secure?

As adoption of Kubernetes and containerized applications grows, so do the risks. With 60% of container images containing vulnerabilities and threat actors targeting misconfigured clusters, it's no longer enough to rely on default settings or periodic scans.

In this guide, you'll learn:

  • The most common and critical Kubernetes security risks — from vulnerable container images to overly permissive RBAC
  • How runtime threats, secrets mismanagement, and API exploits open the door for attackers
  • Actionable best practices to harden your clusters and reduce risk
  • Why traditional static tools fall short, and how runtime visibility transforms security posture

Download the guide to proactively identify leading Kubernetes security risks and reduce your K8s attack surface.
