OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten

Added May 2, 2025

Summary

As Kubernetes becomes foundational to modern cloud-native applications, securing it requires more than ad-hoc checks — it demands a continuous, structured approach. The OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten outlines the most critical risks threatening Kubernetes environments, from workload vulnerabilities and misconfigured RBAC policies to weak network segmentation and unprotected secrets. Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) solutions operationalize these best practices by continuously discovering misconfigurations, enforcing policies, and detecting drift across clusters. By aligning security programs with the OWASP Top Ten, KSPM enables organizations to proactively reduce risk, harden their clusters, and maintain compliance in dynamic production environments.
