This security blueprint explains how CloudPassage Halo automates security controls across Kubernetes environments by instrumenting each layer of the stack, including cloud accounts, container registries, host OS, container runtime, Kubernetes services, and running containers. It outlines a practical three-step approach: monitor IaaS and PaaS services via cloud APIs to inventory assets and evaluate them against CIS and other best-practice policies; assess container image integrity by connecting registry connectors to continuously scan images at rest for vulnerabilities; and protect hosts and runtime containers using lightweight microagents deployed on nodes (including via a Kubernetes DaemonSet) to enable vulnerability management, drift detection, file integrity monitoring, and rogue contai
