This was the event to attend if you’re in or around Arkansas and looking for motivated professionals coming into IT and cyber. We definitely needed more small and medium enterprises from our community represented. I was honored to help and to represent Central States Manufacturing, Inc. And while I don’t have an open role right now, I have a great pool of folks to stay in contact with, follow their journey, assist along the way, and hopefully hire when I do.

Thanks to Arvest Bank and Forge Institute (Crystal) for putting on a great event here in NWA.

The NSA and CISA have released hardening guidance for Kubernetes. The guidance describes the security challenges associated with setting up and securing a Kubernetes cluster. It includes hardening strategies to avoid common misconfigurations and guide system administrators and developers of National Security Systems on how to deploy Kubernetes with example configurations for the recommended hardening measures and mitigations. This guidance details the following mitigations: Scan containers and Pods for vulnerabilities or misconfigurations. Run containers and Pods with the least privileges possible. Use network separation to control the amount of damage a compromise can cause. Use firewalls to limit unneeded network connectivity and encryption to protect confidentiality. Use strong authentication and authorization to limit user and administrator access as well as to limit the attack surface. Use log auditing so that administrators can monitor activity and be alerted to potential malicious activity. Periodically review all Kubernetes settings and use vulnerability scans to help ensure risks are appropriately accounted for and security patches are applied.
