Kubernetes clusters have become prime targets for cyber attacks due to vulnerabilities.
Real-world incidents like the Tesla Cloud Breach, WeightWatchers Data Exposure, Microsoft AKS Supply Chain Attack, Jenkins X Security Breach, and Shopify Kubernetes Escape highlighted the risks.
Common weaknesses in Kubernetes security include network segmentation, container privileges, secrets management, and default settings.
Developers need to prioritize security, conduct regular penetration testing, and treat security as an integral part of the development process.
