DevSecOps with Kubernetes Security Challenges & Fixes for Cloud-Native Apps

Key Security Challenges

• Misconfigured RBAC → Over-privileged accounts.
• Exposed etcd datastore → Secrets leakage risk.
• Insecure container images → Vulnerable dependencies.
• Missing network policies → Pods communicate without control.
• No runtime monitoring → Late attack detection.

DevSecOps Fixes & Best Practices

• Implement RBAC least privilege & enable API auditing.
• Encrypt etcd & manage secrets with KMS/HashiCorp Vault.
• Scan images (Trivy, Clair, Anchore) in CI/CD pipelines.
• Apply network policies for pod-to-pod control.
• Enable runtime defense with Falco & Audit Logs.
• Automate compliance with OPA/Gatekeeper & Kyverno.

Kubernetes is powerful — but only when DevSecOps is built in from Day Zero.
