Execution: Workload triggered in sensitive namespace

This document describes a threat finding type in Security Command Center. Threat findings are generated by threat detectors when they detect a potential threat in your cloud resources. For a full list of available threat findings, see Threat findings index.

Finding description

Someone deployed a workload (for example, a Pod or Deployment) in the kube-system or kube-public namespaces. These namespaces are critical for GKE cluster operations, and unauthorized workloads could compromise cluster stability or security.

  1. Identify the deployed workload and its purpose.
  2. If the workload is unauthorized, delete it and investigate the source of deployment.
