Security best practices

To prevent unauthorized access to your Standard Edition environment, follow the security best practices.

Volume encryption

Configure disk encryption as recommended by the appliance vendors for your operating system.

Encrypt and secure backups

Encrypt all backups. Follow the instructions that your storage vendor provides on how to secure backups with encryption on Standard Edition.

Secure users

Make sure that Standard Edition is installed and running as a specific user. No other users must have access to the $HOME or installation folders on the Standard Edition host.

Make sure that other users do not have permissions to manage services and local Kubernetes and container environments on the host.
