Kubernetes Helm chart security:
Analyzing top findings and trends

Helm charts make Kubernetes infrastructure adoption fast and repeatable, but open source charts are seldom secure by design. This research dives into common Helm security risks, the impact they can have, and how you can avoid them.

We analyzed open-source Helm charts available for reuse on ArtifactHub against common Kubernetes security and compliance policies and grouped our findings.
