What is a network and container security assessment?

A network and container security assessment evaluates the design, configuration, and security controls protecting enterprise networks and containerized environments. The objective is to identify weaknesses that could increase operational or cyber risk.

Does this include Kubernetes?

Yes. Where Kubernetes environments are included in scope, the assessment reviews cluster configuration, access controls, namespaces, workload isolation, secrets management, and related security settings.

Is this the same as penetration testing?

No. Penetration testing focuses on identifying exploitable vulnerabilities through controlled testing. A network and container security assessment evaluates architecture, configuration, segmentation, and security controls to identify areas for improvement.

Which container platforms can be assessed?

Assessments can include platforms such as Docker, Kubernetes, and other container orchestration environments, depending on the agreed scope.

Will production systems be affected?

Assessment activities are planned before engagement begins. Configuration reviews and architecture assessments typically have minimal operational impact. Any active testing is coordinated with the client.

What will we receive?

Clients receive an executive summary, technical findings, identified risks, supporting evidence where applicable, and practical recommendations to strengthen infrastructure security.

Network & Container Security

Strengthen network security with independent validation

Modern environments span corporate networks, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters, containers, and hybrid workloads. Digisecuritas independently evaluates network architecture and containerised environments to identify security weaknesses, strengthen segmentation, validate controls, and support resilient infrastructure across the enterprise.

Infrastructure Security

Infrastructure security starts with architecture

Many security incidents begin with configuration weaknesses, excessive access, or insufficient separation between systems.

A network and container security assessment helps organizations understand whether infrastructure has been designed and configured with security, resilience, and operational governance in mind.

Assessment Scope

What we assess

Network Architecture

Review logical network design, segmentation, routing, trust boundaries, and infrastructure components.

Container Platforms

Assess container environments, runtime configurations, image management, and deployment practices.

Kubernetes Security

Review cluster configuration, namespaces, RBAC, admission controls, secrets management, and workload isolation where Kubernetes is in scope.

Access Controls

Evaluate administrative access, privileged accounts, authentication, and authorization across infrastructure components.

Network Segmentation

Assess separation between environments, production workloads, management networks, and critical assets.

Infrastructure Configuration

Review security configurations across networking devices, container platforms, and supporting services.

Why It Matters

Infrastructure evolves continuously. Independent assessments help validate whether security controls evolve with it.

Internal teams build and operate infrastructure. Independent assessments provide an objective review of architecture, configuration, and security controls, helping organizations identify gaps before they affect operations or compliance.

Digisecuritas approaches infrastructure assessments as an independent advisory engagement — focused on architecture, configuration, and governance rather than product deployment.
