Choosing the Right Policy-As-Code Solution In Part 1 of this series, we introduced the concept of policy-as-code (PaC), and discussed the following solutions: OPA, OPA/Gatekeeper and MagTape. In this post (Part 2) we will review the Kyverno and k-rail PaC solutions. For Kubernetes, there are several PaC solutions available in the open-source software (OSS) community. […]

As more organizations adopt containerization as a delivery strategy, the need for automated security, compliance, and privacy controls that detect, prevent, reduce, and counteract known and unknown threats, has increased. Out of this increased need for […]
