Securing the software supply chain in Kubernetes is essential for resilient, cloud-native applications. In this article, we decode best practices—from cryptographic image signing and SBOM-based vulnerability scanning to policy-as-code enforcement with Gatekeeper and Kyverno, zero-trust networking via Istio, and Falco-powered runtime protection. Discover how to fortify your container security at every stage—CI pipelines, admissions, and production—and build, deploy, and innova
