We’ve noticed that many of our customers are currently undergoing a significant transformation in their application architecture, transitioning from legacy vertical applications to distributed microservices running on Kubernetes. This shift brings along a range of benefits, such as improved scalability, resilience, and agility. However, it also creates a larger attack surface that needs to be managed effectively.
To minimize the attack surface, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of how each microservice communicates microservices within, and outside, the cluster to implement robust network configuration and security policies. This can be challenging, especially when dealing with re-architected applications that can consist of hundreds of microservices.
To make the life of the security and DevOps teams easier, there are a few things that can be done. Firstly, providing them with access to detailed information on how microservices communicate within and outside the cluster. Secondly, having automated policy recommendations to improve their configuration and security. Finally, providing visibility and audit reports to help identify vulnerabilities in the system and prevent potential breaches.
In this blog, we will discuss how to leverage the security policy recommender to rapidly create security policies to minimize the attack surface and improve the security posture.
