CIS Benchmarks

CIS Benchmarks are best practices for the secure configuration of a target system. CIS Benchmarks are developed through a unique consensus-based process comprised of cybersecurity professionals and subject matter experts around the world. CIS benchmark guides are developed and accepted by government, business, industry, and academia.

CIS Benchmarks for Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift Container platform environments are available for download from the CIS Benchmarks website. These benchmark guides provide information on hardening the master and worker nodes in the OpenShift cluster. Guidance on hardening the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS can be found in the Red Hat documentation.
