Security Testing & Validation
Kubernetes Security Assessment
Systematically review Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters for misconfigurations, permission risks and security gaps.
ForgeOne performs security assessments for Kubernetes, OpenShift and Rancher-based platforms. The focus is configuration, platform controls and technical risk.
Your path with ForgeOne
- Step 1
Assessment
Understand current state, risks and dependencies.
- Step 2
Architecture
Define target architecture, security, platform roles and operating model.
- Step 3
Planning
Plan migration, automation, integration and responsibilities.
- Step 4
Implementation
Implement systems, platforms and processes in a controlled way.
- Step 5
Operations
Operate managed or co-managed with monitoring, updates and support.
Current step Current stepStep 6Validation
Add security review, Kubernetes assessment or penetration testing where useful.
Review areas
Scope depends on platform, operating model and risk.
Cluster & API
Cluster configuration, API server exposure, certificates, PKI, admission controls and OpenShift-specific security controls.
RBAC & Isolation
Kubernetes RBAC, service accounts, Pod Security Standards, namespace isolation, NetworkPolicies and secrets.
Supply Chain & Betrieb
Container images, registry integration, logging, audit, backup/recovery and GitOps/CI/CD security.
Methodical orientation
Standards are applied where they fit the agreed scope, not sold as a blanket certification.
CIS Kubernetes Benchmark
Useful for structured checks of technical cluster baselines.
CIS Red Hat OpenShift Benchmark
For OpenShift environments where the concrete scope fits.
OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten
As orientation for common risk and attack areas in cloud-native environments.
Process
- Step 1
Understand platform
Clarify distribution, operating model, tenancy, GitOps and access model.
- Step 2
Review controls
Systematically review RBAC, policies, secrets, admission, ingress and audit.
- Step 3
Assess risk
Findings are prioritized by impact, path and implementation effort.
- Step 4
Connect hardening
Remediation can be delivered via automation, implementation or managed security.
