Why Kubernetes Network Policies Are Often Worse Than Nothing

Episode notes
Lucas and Luna dive into a silent threat in Kubernetes security: network policies that are incomplete, misconfigured, or poorly maintained. They walk through a real incident where a supposedly secure cluster had a default-deny policy that was accidentally bypassed by an allow-all rule on a single namespace, exposing a database to the internet. They explain why network policies give a false sense of security, how to audit them effectively, and the one practice that prevents policy drift. No clickbait, just a sharp, specific conversation about a gap most teams overlook until it's too late. #Kubernetes #NetworkPolicy #CloudSecurity #DevOps #Technology #PodSecurity #ZeroTrust #K8sNetworking #SecurityAudit #PolicyAsCode #Cilium #Calico #CNI #InfrastructureAsCode #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #DevOpsDaily Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
