Description

The Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) security dashboard, now in public preview, provides comprehensive visibility and automated remediation capabilities for security issues through the Azure portal, empowering platform engineering teams to secure their Kubernetes environment more effectively and easily. 


Consolidating security and operational data in one place directly within the Azure portal allows engineers to benefit from a unified view of their Kubernetes environment, enabling more efficient detection, and remediation of security issues, with minimal disruption to their workflows and eventually reducing the risk of oversight security issues and improving remediation cycles. 


Security issues surfaced in the dashboard are divided into different security types: Vulnerabilities, Misconfigurations, compliance and threat detection alerts. Assigning owners and due dates, as well as onboarding status can be managed via the dashboard and all without leaving the AKS cluster view in Azure portal.
