Architecting Zero Trust Security for Kubernetes Apps with NGINX
Architecting Zero Trust Security for Kubernetes Apps with NGINX The sophistication and number of cybersecurity attacks is growing exponentially, creating significant risk of exposure for your apps deployed in on‑premises, hybrid, and multi‑cloud Kubernetes environments. Traditional security models are perimeter‑based, assuming that users are trustworthy (and the communication among them secure) if they’re located within the environment’s secured boundaries. In today’s distributed environments, the concept of a safe zone inside the perimeter no longer exists – communications originating from “inside” the environment can be just as dangerous as external threats. In this blog, we explore the benefits of adopting a Zero Trust model to secure your Kubernetes infrastructure and how NGINX can help improve your security posture. What Is Zero Trust? Zero Trust is a security model based on identity rather than location. It assumes that any request for access to [ more… ]
