## [🌟 About the Project](https://github.com/m9sweeper/m9sweeper#star2-about-the-project)

m9sweeper is a free and easy kubernetes security platform. It integrates industry standard open source utilities into a one-stop-shop kubernetes security tool that can walk most kubernetes adminstrators through securing a kubernetes cluster as well as the apps running on the cluster.

### [🎯 Features](https://github.com/m9sweeper/m9sweeper#dart-features)

m9sweeper makes securing a cluster easy with:

* CVE Scanning
* Enforcement of CVE Scanning Rules
* Reports and Dashboards, including historical reporting to see how your security posture has changed over time
* CIS Security Benchmarking
* Pen Testing
* Deployment Coaching
* Intrusion Detection
* Gatekeeper Policy Management

## [🧰 Toolbox](https://github.com/m9sweeper/m9sweeper#toolbox-toolbox)

m9sweeper makes it easy to orchestrate the implementation of a number of free security tools:

[Trivy](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy): CVE Scanner, Image scan

[Kubesec](https://github.com/controlplaneio/kubesec): Deployment Best Practices

[kube-bench](https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench): CIS Benchmarks

[OPA Gatekeeper](https://github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper): Compliance and Security Policies

[kube-hunter](https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-hunter): Cluster Penetration Testing

[Project Falco](https://falco.org/): Intrusion Detection

## Make Compliance Possible

While tools like Gatekeeper and Open Policy Agent are immensely valuable for describing compliance in Kubernetes, they are also extremely difficult to use. Minesweeper’s library of pre-made policies and simple graphical user interface (and exceptions management interface) makes being compliant easy and manageable for most DevOps teams.
