Most Kubernetes misconfigurations start small — but can take down production fast. In this article, we break down the top Kubernetes security risks from the OWASP Top 10, including overly permissive RBAC, outdated clusters, and missing network segmentation. More importantly, we explore how Cycle.io takes a fundamentally different, secure-by-default approach that removes the burden of manual configuration and minimizes the risk of human error. If you're tired of fighting Kubernetes complexity, this breakdown is for you.
