Kubernetes security is supported by some built-in core features, but it must be complemented to fill in gaps that can emerge from a variety of risks.

As organizations make greater use of containers, they must consider Kubernetes security. How secure is Kubernetes? That’s a simple question with no simple answer.

In some respects, Kubernetes is very secure. It offers a variety of built-in security tools, and it integrates easily with third-party security platforms.

Yet on its own, Kubernetes suffers from some significant security risks. There are major gaps within the native security functionality that Kubernetes provides out of the box.

Securing Kubernetes, then, requires understanding which types of security features Kubernetes provides natively and which functionality you need to build in yourself.
