TigerGate’s Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) product runs a read-only, cluster-scoped agent in your cluster that continuously evaluates posture, RBAC exposure, workload hardening, image vulnerabilities, and configuration drift, and (optionally) blocks non-compliant workloads at admission time. Results flow into the same unified findings inbox as the rest of the platform.
You install a single Helm chart, give it one org API key and one cluster name, and the cluster auto-registers on the agent’s first report — no per-cluster registration step. See Install with Helm.

What you get

CapabilityWhat it does
Cluster posture scanRead-only pass over the API server: workload misconfigurations, unsafe defaults, Pod Security Standards (PSS) coverage, network-policy gaps.
CIS & NSA benchmarksCIS Kubernetes Benchmark + NSA-CISA hardening controls scored PASS/FAIL per control, with a per-framework score rolled up per cluster.
KIEM — RBAC exposureFlattens every Role / ClusterRole and binding into a risk-scored subject → permission graph; inventories service accounts and flags excessive or unused permissions.
Admission controlA validating webhook checks every pod against Pod Security, image-trust, and your custom policy — in audit (warn) or enforce (deny) mode.
Image vulnerabilities (CVEs)Scans running images by digest for CVEs and generates an SBOM; de-duplicated so each unique image is scanned once.
Configuration driftHashes workload and network-policy specs each scan and surfaces added / changed / removed resources with a before/after diff.
Custom rulesOrg-defined declarative rules (no Rego), optionally AI-drafted from a plain-English description — evaluated by both the scanner (detection) and the admission webhook (enforcement).
AI-assisted remediation (optional)Generate → dry-run preview → apply a fix for a finding, with full per-workload attempt history. Off by default — the only write-capable component in the chart.
Runtime (optional)The same chart can deploy the TigerGate eBPF runtime sensor for process/file/network/privilege telemetry. See Runtime.

Check catalog

Every Kubernetes control the scanner evaluates has a reference page under the Kubernetes check catalog — each with what it verifies, the risk, and remediation (CLI / manifest / dashboard steps).
