About:
Kubeaudit is a command-line tool that audits Kubernetes clusters for security misconfigurations and compliance with best practices. It scans for common issues such as insecure defaults, missing security contexts, and overly permissive settings, providing actionable recommendations to harden your cluster. Its primary value lies in automating security audits and helping teams maintain a robust security posture in Kubernetes environments.
Key Features:
  • Scans Kubernetes clusters for security misconfigurations
  • Checks against multiple security controls and best practices
  • Provides clear, actionable remediation advice
  • Can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines for automated auditing
  • Supports auditing of local manifests, live clusters, and Helm charts
Use Cases:
  • Regular security compliance checks for Kubernetes clusters
  • Pre-deployment auditing of Kubernetes manifests in CI/CD
  • Educating teams on Kubernetes security best practices
Alternatives:
  • kube-bench – Focuses specifically on CIS Kubernetes Benchmark checks, while kubeaudit covers a broader range of security controls.
  • kube-hunter – Performs penetration testing and vulnerability scanning on a live cluster, whereas kubeaudit primarily audits configuration.
