Use Confidential Virtual Machines and Enclaves to improve your cluster security   ✅
 
 
Confidential computing, using hardware-enforced trusted execution environments (TEEs) like secure enclaves, improves cluster security in the cloud-native ecosystem, particularly in Kubernetes. TEEs provide a secure and trusted execution environment for critical cryptographic operations and protect sensitive data, while technologies like AMD SEV, Intel SGX, and Intel TDX offer TEE capabilities that are closely integrated with the userspace, providing low overhead and specific use case optimizations.

NSA and CISA's Cybersecurity Information Sheet for DevSecOps   ✅
 
 
This CSI explains how to integrate security best practices into typical software development and operations (DevOps) Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) environments, without regard for the specific tools being adapted, and leverages several forms of government guidance to collect and present proper security and privacy controls to harden CI/CD cloud deployments. As evidenced by increasing compromises over time, software supply chains and CI/CD environments are attractive targets for malicious cyber actors (MCAs).
