KubePosture
Cluster security from control plane to pod
Protect AKS, EKS, GKE, OpenShift and self-managed clusters against misconfigured RBAC, privileged workloads, vulnerable images and risky network policies — benchmarked against CIS and mapped to real attack paths.
The Problem
Kubernetes ships insecure by default
Clusters multiply across teams and clouds — each one a stack of RBAC, workloads, images and network policy that's easy to get subtly, dangerously wrong.
Cluster sprawl
Dev, staging, prod, per-team and per-region clusters across three clouds — no consistent baseline, no single view of what's running where.
RBAC nobody fully understands
Service accounts with cluster-admin, wildcard roles and stale bindings accumulate silently — until one compromised pod owns the cluster.
Privileged and exposed workloads
Privileged containers, hostPath mounts, missing security contexts and public LoadBalancers turn one exploited app into a node takeover.
AI workloads run on K8s too
GPU workloads, model servers and inference APIs increasingly run in-cluster — inheriting every Kubernetes misconfiguration underneath them.

Runtime Security
Runtime protection for running workloads
Beyond configuration: KubePosture watches cluster workloads at runtime — detecting container escapes, crypto-mining, anomalous process execution and suspicious network behaviour in live pods, and tying every runtime alert back to the posture gap that allowed it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does KubePosture connect to clusters?
Via read-only API access to managed control planes (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift) or a lightweight read-only collector for self-managed clusters. No privileged DaemonSets, no kernel modules.
Does it cover both configuration and vulnerabilities?
Yes. KubePosture assesses cluster and workload configuration (RBAC, pod security, network policy) while VulSense powers image and workload CVE scanning — results are unified in one risk view.
Can it detect attack paths that cross into the cloud layer?
Yes. Because Suronex also models your cloud accounts, it can chain in-cluster weaknesses with cloud IAM — for example, a pod with a node role that can read production storage.
How are multi-cluster environments handled?
All clusters appear in a single posture dashboard with per-cluster, per-namespace and per-team breakdowns — and consistent policies enforced across every distribution.
Does it support compliance reporting for Kubernetes?
Yes — CIS results and workload posture map into ComplySense, contributing evidence to ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and other framework reports automatically.
