FAQ’s
AccuKnox states that 94% of organisations experienced a Kubernetes security incident in the past 12 months, 59% of container images run with high or critical vulnerabilities, and 31% of organisations have no process for Kubernetes vulnerability management.
It allows whitelisting/blacklisting specific container registries, granular control at cluster and namespace levels, regex pattern matching for image names, and prevents deployment of untrusted or vulnerable images.
It supports defining customizable thresholds for vulnerabilities, blocking deployments that exceed defined limits, and integrating with leading vulnerability scanners.
It can enforce policies on privileged containers, manage resource limits and quotas, handle pod security contexts, and ensure compliance with industry standards such as PCI-DSS and HIPAA.
KnoxGuard natively supports Kyverno as a policy engine and provides an extensible architecture for future policy engine support, thereby preserving existing tool investments
The process: define an AdmissionPolicy YAML (for example to block privileged pods), upload and activate it via the AccuKnox dashboard, then monitor policy-violation alerts by navigating in the dashboard to Monitors > Alerts > Admission Controller. Violation logs can be forwarded to SIEM tools for monitoring.
