🛡️ Core Hardening Steps

1. Enforce Read-Only Root Filesystems: Prevent malware from dropping binaries inside pod filesystems.
2. Cilium eBPF L7 Network Policies: Inspect HTTP/gRPC API payloads directly in kernel space without sidecar latency overhead.
3. Kyverno Policy Engine: Automatically block pods attempting to run as root or requesting privileged: true capabilities.
