In the interest of radical transparency, NCC releases the Kubernetes 1.24 security audit report last week.

This is Shannon Lietz reporting from San Francisco, California.

Last week, the #NCC Group published a security audit report for Kubernetes. Kubernetes is a major platform in the industry, one that’s been open source for quite some time. So some thoughts… the report weighs in at a whopping 54 pages and begins with a summary that outlines the scope and critical findings. For those reading it, it’s a pretty good read. They even go so far as to break out their findings into accessible categories, with access controls, auditing and logging, authentication, configuration, cryptography, and data validation as summary categories for any of its readers.

The report is really thoughtful. It provides examples and outlines exactly what you need to know from a security perspective. Open source seems to be a front runner and a thought leader when it comes to these types of security audit reports. It’s incredible that we can see so much information and be able to make security decisions based on the transparency shared in this type of report.

It would be wonderful if we could see other types of software vendors out there, in particular commercial vendors, share this type of data so that people can actually make critical decisions when needed. Kudos.
