KubeLight - Kubernetes Security Scanner

It scans K8s cluster for misconfiguration, runtime issues, and compliance (NSA/CISA, CIS, PCI, SOC2) violations. It also checks for node postures and hardening. It has default scan rules and we can write custom rules. We can get the reports on Slack and Elasticsearch.

It is built around a NoSQL-style query engine, hence it is very lightweight, and the core engine is written in pure python.
