Kubernetes Penetration Testing
Cluster testing for RBAC, workload isolation, and container-escape paths.
Kubernetes penetration testing evaluates your clusters for RBAC weaknesses, weak workload isolation, and container-escape paths — showing how an attacker moves from a single pod to cluster or cloud compromise.
Where attackers get in — and where we look.
RBAC & service accounts
Pod security & escapes
Network policy gaps
Secrets management
Supply-chain & admission control
An evidence-driven methodology.
Scope & recon
We agree objectives and rules of engagement, then map what you actually expose.
Map the attack surface
Enumerate entry points, roles, and trust boundaries a real attacker would target.
Manual exploitation
Certified testers exploit flaws by hand — chaining issues scanners never connect.
Prove impact
Findings ship with supporting evidence and business context.
Report & retest
Risk-ranked reporting with remediation guidance; retests under agreed terms.
Evidence you can act on.
Findings and supporting evidence
QA-reviewed findings with evidence and reproduction steps.
Risk-ranked reporting
CVSS + business context, prioritized for your team.
Remediation guidance
Actionable fixes mapped to each finding.
Retests under agreed terms
Retests are requested and tracked in the platform.
Make it a program.
Pair this test with a program that extends testing between engagements.
Kubernetes Penetration Testing — questions buyers ask.
What do you test in a Kubernetes cluster?
RBAC and service accounts, pod security, network policies, secrets handling, admission control, and container-escape paths to the node and cloud.
Do you test managed clusters (EKS/AKS/GKE)?
Yes — managed and self-hosted clusters, including the cloud IAM boundary that managed control planes rely on.
Can testing disrupt running workloads?
We use safe, scoped techniques and coordinate any higher-risk tests; most assessments run without impacting production workloads.
Prove what an attacker could actually do.
A short scoping call, no obligation.
