Kubernetes Security: ServiceAccounts, RBAC, Pod Security Standards, securityContext and NetworkPolicy
Give every app its own ServiceAccount, don't mount the token unless needed, protect the namespace with restricted Pod Security Standards, and after a default deny NetworkPolicy open only the paths you need. With real kind output we test RBAC with kubectl auth can-i, catch the aspnet:10.0 image running as root, see what readOnlyRootFilesystem does to .NET Data Protection, try user namespaces and hit a default deny that forgot DNS.
