Overview

Data Theorem provides several integrations that collect information about your GKE deployments to help you manage your Kubernetes security posture. Additionally, like the data collected from all Data Theorem integrations, we send your GKE information to our analyzer to build a deep, full-stack understanding of your applications and resources they rely on.

• GCP Account Integration

• GCP Load Balancer Log Analysis Integration

• Kubernetes In-Cluster Helm Chart Integration

KSPM Integrations

GCP Account Integration

The close integration of GKE and Google Cloud means that just by onboarding your GCP account we good visibility into your GKE clusters and the GCP resources they use.

How to enable this integration: https://datatheorem.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AoBQAg

GCP Load Balancer Log Analysis Integration

The Data Theorem GCP Load Balancer integration forwarding HTTP request logs from your GCP load balancers to a log sink that publishes HTTP request metadata to a Data Theorem Pub/Sub queue.

...

Data Theorem strongly recommends creating the sink at the organization level to maximize discovery, and to then use the sink’s log filter to limit which logs are sent to Data Theorem.

Information Collected

This integration collects non-sensitive runtime information about requests made to your load balancers. No request or response bodies or sensitive headers are collected.

Here is an example:

Kubernetes In-Cluster Helm Chart Integration

Overview

This integration uses a Helm chart to creates create a discovery deployment in the datatheorem namespace in your Kubernetes cluster. The deployment is not “in-line” for any of your cluster’s services. The application is stateless and designed to consume almost no resources, and it should not require any autoscaling.

It uses a the datatheorem-service-account bound to the datatheorem-cluster-role with the following permissions for read-only access on a limited set of cluster resources:

rules:
  - apiGroups:
      - "*"
    resources:
      - deployments
      - pods/log
      - pods
      - services
      - endpoints
      - persistentvolumeclaims
      - ingresses
      - gateways

    verbs:
      - list
      - get
      - watch 

...

Installation

Step 1 : Extract all the items which you should receive during the onboarding process.

unzip DataTheorem-APIProtect-K8S_PROTECT.zip

Step 2 : Verify you are configured for the correct kubernetes cluster

kubectl config current-context

Step 3 : Install API Protect

Add mirroring to the chosen endpoint. This step must be repeated for each endpoint.

helm install k8s-protect    \
    ./k8s-protect           \
    --create-namespace      \
    --namespace datatheorem \
    --wait

Step 5 : Verify the deployment

It should look something like this

...

helm test -n datatheorem k8s-protect

Finished.

Un-Installation should it be required

helm uninstall -n datatheorem k8s-protect

...
