## Description

The big challenge we see with Kubernetes security is that setting up a Kubernetes cluster and configuring it to run the applications within it is already so sophisticated that security is often just an afterthought added to the already complex configuration. However, we cannot deny the importance of security, especially when the systems are so complex!
 
Cloud applications are a very attractive target for many hackers, and the growing numbers of cloud applications using Kubernetes as a platform, show us that it is important to know how to secure Kubernetes clusters.
 
Here we look at what tools, setups, and configurations we can use to make our clusters reasonably more secure.
