Kubernetes-native security toolkit. (Documentation)
There are lots of security tools in the cloud native world, created by Aqua and by others, for identifying and informing users about security issues in Kubernetes workloads and infrastructure components. However powerful and useful they might be, they tend to sit alongside Kubernetes, with each new product requiring users to learn a separate set of commands and installation steps in order to operate them and find critical security information.
The Trivy-Operator leverages trivy security tools by incorporating their outputs into Kubernetes CRDs (Custom Resource Definitions) and from there, making security reports accessible through the Kubernetes API. This way users can find and view the risks that relate to different resources in what we call a Kubernetes-native way.
The Trivy operator automatically updates security reports in response to workload and other changes on a Kubernetes cluster, generating the following reports:
- Vulnerability Scans: Automated vulnerability scanning for Kubernetes workloads.
- ConfigAudit Scans: Automated configuration audits for Kubernetes resources with predefined rules or custom Open Policy Agent (OPA) policies.
- Exposed Secret Scans: Automated secret scans which find and detail the location of exposed Secrets within your cluster.
- RBAC scans: Role Based Access Control scans provide detailed information on the access rights of the different resources installed.
- K8s core component infra assessment scan Kubernetes infra core components (etcd,apiserver,scheduler,controller-manager and etc) setting and configuration.
- Compliance reports
- NSA, CISA Kubernetes Hardening Guidance v1.1 cybersecurity technical report is produced.
- CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.23 cybersecurity technical report is produced.
- Kubernetes pss-baseline, Pod Security Standards
- Kubernetes pss-restricted, Pod Security Standards
Please star ⭐ the repo if you want us to continue developing and improving trivy-operator! 😀
Although we are trying to keep new releases backward compatible with previous versions, this project is still incubating, and some APIs and Custom Resource Definitions may change.
The official Documentation provides detailed installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and quick start guides.
You can install the Trivy-operator Operator with Static YAML Manifests and follow the Getting Started guide to see how vulnerability and configuration audit reports are generated automatically.
At this early stage we would love your feedback on the overall concept of Trivy-Operator. Over time, we'd love to see contributions integrating different security tools so that users can access security information in standard, Kubernetes-native ways.
- See Contributing for information about setting up your development environment, and the contribution workflow that we expect.
- Please ensure that you are following our Code Of Conduct during any interaction with the Aqua projects and their community.
