inspektor-gadget VS kube-bench

You can try using https://www.inspektor-gadget.io/ You can try either, top tcp, trace network-graph or trace tcp gadget. It's a CNCF sandbox project and it's kubernetes native so I think this should work.

This works really well https://github.com/inspektor-gadget/inspektor-gadget/blob/main/docs/gadgets/advise/network-policy.md

Inspector gadget is a tool designed to introspect and debug Kubernetes applications using eBPF.

I found this tool: https://github.com/kinvolk/inspektor-gadget great if you want to have a detailed debugging for running pods e.g all exec system calls or trace tcp connections etc.

All namespaces should have NetworkPolicy. Interactions between namespaces should be limited to NetworkPolicy following least privileges principles (Inspektor Gadget)

The team behind traceloop has integrated it with the Inspektor Gadget project, so you can run traceloop on the K8s platform using kubectl. See the demos in Inspektor Gadget - How to use and, if you like, try it on your own.

2. Kubebench: https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench Kubebench is an open-source tool that checks whether Kubernetes is deployed according to security best practices as defined in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark.

However, no matter how well our applications are secured, the security of our entire IT environment ultimately depends on the security of our infrastructure. Therefore, in the lab to follow, we will shift our focus away from Kubernetes workloads and instead explore how we can evaluate and improve upon the security of our Kubernetes clusters with kube-bench, the industry-leading Kubernetes benchmarking solution developed by Aqua.

The official repository can be found here with detailed installation instructions.

I haven't used Kubernetes for a while, but shouldn't kube-bench (1) be enough? Do you have to check anything manually?

(1) https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench

kube-bench checks whether Kubernetes is deployed securely by running the checks documented in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. We can deploy kube-bench as a Job that runs daily and consume its report in CI/CD to pass or fail the pipeline based on the level of severity.

kube-bench can be executed as a simple command on the host, as a container on the host using Docker command, or as a job inside Kubernetes Cluster. In case it is run inside a container/pod, it will need access to the PID namespace of the host system. The methods to run kube-bench in AKS, EKS, GKE, On-prem cluster, Openshift and ACK (Alibaba Cloud Container Service For Kubernetes) are different but well documented.

Check this out: kube-bench - CIS Benchmark

Kube-bench, written as a Go application, is deployable as a container. Ready-made job.yaml files make it easy to run Kube-bench inside a Kubernetes cluster or on a managed Kubernetes service, such as Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), or OpenShift.
