KTrust launches an automated red team for Kubernetes security | TechCrunch

KTrust, a Tel Aviv–based security startup, is taking a different approach to Kubernetes security from many of its competitors in the space. Instead of

KTrust, a Tel Aviv-based security startup, offers a unique approach to Kubernetes security by deploying an automated system that actively hacks into the system to identify real-world attack paths. Known as "continuous threat exposure management" (CTEM), it collects validated exploits, reducing the number of potential vulnerabilities identified. Led by CEO Nadav Toledo, with a team of experienced leaders, KTrust recently received a $5.4 million seed funding round. Their approach involves mimicking real attackers to expose vulnerabilities in Kubernetes infrastructure, providing detailed insights for security teams to mitigate potential risks efficiently. The platform aims to address the complexities of Kubernetes security and help DevSecOps teams secure their systems effectively.
