If your organization is considering using Kubernetes for its infrastructure, security should be at the forefront of your concerns. Kubernetes allows organizations to operate multiple applications on a single cluster platform, which makes it great for managing resources and scaling as needed. However, with all of these apps and services, there is a need to secure them effectively. One option for ensuring security in a Kubernetes cluster is Passbolt, an open-source password manager.

Whether you’re setting up a new Kubernetes cluster or migrating one to a different platform, Passbolt is an ideal solution. It allows you to store, manage, and share credentials securely across multiple Kubernetes nodes. Passbolt uses advanced encryption technology to store and protect credentials and encrypts communication between nodes. It also offers granular control over who gets access to the credentials and who can access them.

Passbolt is designed to work in a distributed fashion across multiple nodes. This means that a single node won’t control the credentials – each node will have a copy. This means that even if one node is compromised, the passwords are still secure. This makes it much harder for malicious actors to gain access to your passwords, as the attacker would have to gain access to multiple nodes simultaneously.

Using Passbolt with Kubernetes is straightforward, and requires the installation of one or more components onto the individual nodes in the…
