Proactive EKS Security: Detecting Threats with Honeytokens
Amazon EKS offers a robust platform for deploying containerized applications; however, misconfigurations, overly permissive roles, and exposed service accounts may present a unique set of security challenges.
Traditional security measures, while important, often react after an attack has already begun. You need an active defense layer to secure your EKS deployments truly.
This detailed white paper examines how intentionally crafted deceptive artifacts, known as honeytokens, provide a robust solution. These fake AWS resources are designed to attract and detect attackers. Any engagement immediately triggers a high-confidence alert, providing an early warning system that allows you to detect threats during reconnaissance and lateral movement phases before critical assets are compromised.
