4C's of Cloud Native Security

Cloud native security refers to the set of practices and tools used to secure applications running in cloud environments.

The 4C's of cloud native security are: * cloud * clusters * container * code

Each of the 4C's plays a critical role in securing cloud native applications.

Cloud Security

  • Cloud security involves securing the infrastructure and services used to host cloud native applications.
  • Cloud security includes network security, identity and access management, and data security.
  • Cloud security measures include firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and encryption.

Cluster Security

  • Cluster security involves securing the nodes and services that make up a Kubernetes cluster.
  • Cluster security includes node security, network security, and access control.
  • Cluster security measures include role-based access control, network policies, and secure node configuration.

Container Security

  • Container security involves securing the containers that make up a cloud native application.
  • Container security includes container image scanning, runtime security, and access control.
  • Container security measures include container image vulnerability scanning, runtime monitoring, and container network policies.

Code Security

  • Code security involves securing the code that makes up a cloud native application.
  • Code security includes code review, vulnerability scanning, and access control.
  • Code security measures include code review processes, vulnerability scanning tools, and secure code signing and deployment processes.
