Ensuring your Kubernetes environment adheres to established security standards is crucial for maintaining a secure and compliant infrastructure. One of the most respected standards in this space is the CIS (Center for Internet Security) Kubernetes Benchmark. This benchmark provides best practices and guidelines to help organizations secure their Kubernetes deployments.
Sweet Security has added a CIS Compliance feature to its Cloud Runtime Protection Platform.
With Sweet, you can now:
- Automatically test each workload against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark
- Visualize compliance levels across your entire environment
- Understand why specific workloads fail compliance checks
- Efficiently manage and remediate non-compliant workloads
- Maintain an up-to-date view of your overall compliance score
Automate your compliance tests and get a clear compliance grade across all workloads.
About the CIS Framework and Benchmark
The CIS Kubernetes Benchmark has become a gold standard in cloud security, offering a comprehensive set of configuration guidelines that help organizations minimize their attack surface and improve their overall security posture. By adhering to these guidelines, companies can significantly reduce the risk of security breaches and ensure compliance with various regulatory requirements.
CIS Compliance Management with Sweet Security
Simplify Compliance with Automated Testing
Perform pass/fail tests on each workload, providing you with a total compliance grade. This grading system gives you a clear picture of where your environment stands in terms of security adherence. Then, go beyond simple pass/fail results by analyzing compliance levels for each specific workload or cluster, allowing you to see exactly where issues lie. Finally, take it a step further by cross-correlating compliance with other risks in your environment, ensuring a comprehensive view of your security landscape.
Visualize Compliance Levels Across Workloads and Clusters
View compliance data grouped by workloads or clusters, helping you quickly identify problematic resources. This granular view makes it easier to pinpoint where your security posture may be lacking and take corrective actions, or to find specific problematic areas that need more attention.
Cross-Correlate Compliance with Workload Hygiene
What sets Sweet Security apart is our ability to cross-correlate compliance results with the general hygiene of each workload. By integrating these insights, you get a holistic view of both the security and operational aspects of your workloads, enabling you to address issues more effectively and maintain a secure, compliant Kubernetes environment.
With Sweet, ensuring your Kubernetes environment is compliant with the CIS Benchmark has never been easier. Our automated tests and comprehensive visualization tools empower you to maintain a robust security posture while simplifying the complexity of cloud security management.
