Background:
▪︎ A Service in #k8s is an object that balances HTTP requests between pods belonging to that Service
▪︎ A Service identifies its pods through a set of labels (e.g. "fancy-app: prod", "db: users", etc)

▪︎ A Service identifies its pods through a set of labels (e.g. "fancy-app: prod", "db: users", etc)
▪︎ A pod with a label associated with a Service will become part of that Service automatically
Attack scenario:
1. A pod is mounting a service account with permissions to deploy other pods
2. A container in the pod is running a vulnerable app, providing RCE to an attacker

Once enabled for your clusters, GKE security posture scans your workloads on two dimensions:
- Misconfigurations (comparing against CNCF pod spec security standards
- OS level CVE vulnerabilities
These are surfaced in a snazzy dashboard with opinionated severity ratings
