About:
Kubescape is an open-source tool designed to test Kubernetes clusters against security frameworks like the NSA and CISA Hardening Guidance. It scans configurations, RBAC settings, and Helm charts to identify risks and compliance issues. The tool provides actionable remediation steps to help developers and security teams secure their cloud-native environments effectively.
Key Features:
  • Scans Kubernetes clusters, YAML files, and Helm charts for misconfigurations
  • Provides risk scoring and compliance reports based on industry standards
  • Offers IDE plugins and CI/CD integration for shift-left security
  • Includes an operator for continuous cluster monitoring
Use Cases:
  • Pre-deployment validation of Kubernetes manifests in CI/CD pipelines
  • Continuous security auditing of live clusters to detect drift and vulnerabilities
Alternatives:
  • kube-bench – Kube-bench runs CIS Kubernetes Benchmark checks on nodes, while Kubescape focuses on cluster configuration and RBAC analysis.
  • polaris – Polaris performs static configuration validation; Kubescape offers broader compliance frameworks and runtime monitoring.
