eBPF-based observability meets policy

Platform & Runtime Security

Kubernetes hardened to NSA/CISA guidance. eBPF-based runtime detection, admission-time policy enforcement, and identity-aware network segmentation across every workload.

Deliverables

What you take home.

  • Cluster hardening against CIS Kubernetes benchmarks
  • eBPF runtime detection and response, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
  • Admission control, network policy, and zero-trust workload identity
  • Multi-tenant isolation for regulated data planes
Approach

How we work.

Stage
Baseline hardening

Cluster and node hardening against CIS Kubernetes and NSA/CISA guidance, with the state continuously evidenced against benchmark controls.

Stage
Runtime detection

eBPF-based syscall visibility, process ancestry, and lateral-movement detection wired into the SOC pipeline and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.

Stage
Admission-time policy

Every workload evaluated against a policy set at admission, with drift detection catching what slips through between audits.

Stage
Workload identity

Zero-trust identity that survives pod recreation, cluster upgrades, and multi-cluster fleets.

Outcomes

Value at every seat.

A serious engagement earns its keep across engineering, the business, and the finance line at the same time.

For Engineering

Kernel-level visibility, admission-time policy, and workload identity that survives pod recreation and cluster upgrades.

For Business

Incident containment shifts from hours to minutes; blast radius shrinks; risk exposure is quantifiable.

For Finance

Breach-cost avoidance is the single highest-leverage line on this list — a serious incident that never happens pays for years of engineering.

Common engagements

Where this shows up.

Multi-tenant PCI cluster

Data-plane isolation for a shared Kubernetes estate with cardholder data in scope — audit-defensible tenancy without a cluster-per-tenant tax.

eBPF runtime rollout

Kernel-level observability and detection across a large-scale Kubernetes footprint, with tuning for signal-to-noise from day one.

Ransomware-resilient runtime

Detection, containment, and recovery engineering for a regulated environment — assume compromise, plan the response.

Fleet-wide policy uplift

Admission-controller consolidation and drift enforcement across many clusters, replacing per-team policy chaos with a shared baseline.

Standards touched

The vocabulary of this practice.

The frameworks and standards this engagement anchors in — the same ones your assessors, auditors, and enterprise buyers already know.

  • CIS Kubernetes
  • NSA/CISA Kubernetes Hardening
  • MITRE ATT&CK
  • NIST 800-190

SLSA-aligned, provenance-signed

Supply-chain & Container Governance

Container lifecycle governance from build to deprecation. SBOMs, signed provenance, registry policy, and an SLSA level uplift path that regulators can follow.

Observability & Detection

Telemetry pipelines that serve reliability and security teams from the same source of truth — SLOs, correlated signals, and detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
