Kubernetes & Workload Defense

Cloud-Native & Runtime Security

Expose workload behavior, reduce cloud-native blind spots, and enforce precise controls across Kubernetes clusters and modern application platforms.

Operational Focus

Security Decisions Grounded in the Real Environment.

Cloud-native environments change faster than traditional perimeter controls can follow. 18 Series Security evaluates cluster architecture, workload communications, runtime activity, and security telemetry to identify practical control gaps. eBPF-based visibility and policy can reveal behavior inside the platform while supporting investigation, segmentation, and runtime enforcement.

Scope Includes

  • Kubernetes security architecture reviews
  • eBPF-based network and runtime visibility
  • Runtime threat detection and enforcement
  • Container and workload microsegmentation
  • Cluster traffic-flow and dependency analysis
  • Security telemetry and investigation workflows

Engagement Deliverables

  • Architecture and control-gap assessment
  • Workload communication and exposure findings
  • Runtime visibility and enforcement recommendations
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap
  • Validation plan for proposed controls

Engagement Model

Assess. Execute. Verify.

01

Define the Environment

Confirm business objectives, in-scope systems, constraints, stakeholders, and evidence requirements.

02

Perform the Work

Assess, test, or design against the agreed scope while maintaining clear communication and operational discipline.

03

Prove the Outcome

Deliver evidence-backed findings, practical next steps, and verification criteria for remediation or control implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to Expect.

Is this limited to one Kubernetes distribution?

No. The assessment is architecture-led and can evaluate Kubernetes and cloud-native environments without assuming a single distribution or cloud provider.

What does eBPF add to the engagement?

eBPF can provide deep network and runtime visibility from the operating-system layer, helping reveal workload behavior and support precise detection or enforcement decisions.

Can the service include multiple clusters?

Yes. Cluster boundaries, shared services, cross-cluster communications, and consistent policy requirements can be included when defined in scope.
