Tenable®, an exposure management company, has announced expanded Tenable Cloud Security cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) capabilities for Kubernetes’ on-premises and public cloud environments.
According to an official release, these latest advancements extend Tenable’s CNAPP benefits, such as contextual risk visibility, preventive security controls, and zero trust / least privilege enforcement, to Kubernetes. From what it’s understood, the new Kubernetes features from Tenable Cloud Security enable organisations to scale visibility across public and on-premises Kubernetes deployments, which protect Kubernetes clusters running on-premises, in private networks, as well as both managed and self-managed clusters with visibility and reporting at scale.
Furthermore, the facilities allow interception of risky deployments with preventive security controls, which block non-compliant Kubernetes resource deployments with a custom admission controller and custom zero trust security policies, and prevent long-standing privileges, which leverage least privilege policies and Just-in-Time (JIT) access to provide time-limited access and avoid long-standing privileges in Kubernetes clusters.
“I believe we’re in a saturated market of feature-based tools that address small, inconsequential areas of risk. Tenable aims to provide comprehensive visibility, accelerated time to value, and unmatched actionable intelligence that takes the security headaches out of Kubernetes and all cloud infrastructure,” Shai Morag, senior vice-president and general manager, Tenable Cloud Security, said.
