Security Best Practices for Users

Deployment Security

# Kubernetes Security Context
securityContext:
  runAsNonRoot: true
  runAsUser: 1000
  fsGroup: 2000
  capabilities:
    drop:
      - ALL
  readOnlyRootFilesystem: true

Configuration Security

# Environment variables for secure configuration
export OPSTOOL_JWT_SECRET="your-secure-random-secret"
export OPSTOOL_DB_SSL_MODE="require"
export OPSTOOL_ENCRYPTION_KEY="your-32-byte-encryption-key"
export OPSTOOL_LOG_LEVEL="info"

Network Security

  • Use TLS 1.3 for all communications
  • Implement network segmentation
  • Use firewalls and security groups
  • Regular security scanning of containers

Database Security

  • Enable SSL/TLS connections
  • Use strong passwords and rotate regularly
  • Implement database-level encryption
  • Regular backup encryption
  • Audit database access

Secret Management

# Use external secret management
kubectl create secret generic opstool-secrets \
  --from-literal=jwt-secret="$(openssl rand -base64 32)" \
  --from-literal=db-password="$(openssl rand -base64 32)"

Security Monitoring

Recommended Monitoring

  • Failed authentication attempts
  • Unusual API access patterns
  • Database query anomalies
  • Container runtime security events
  • Network traffic analysis

Alerting Configuration

# Example Prometheus alerting rules
groups:
  - name: opstool-security
    rules:
      - alert: HighFailedLogins
        expr: rate(opstool_failed_logins_total[5m]) > 0.1
        for: 2m
        annotations:
          summary: "High rate of failed login attempts"
      
      - alert: UnauthorizedAPIAccess
        expr: rate(opstool_unauthorized_requests_total[5m]) > 0.05
        for: 1m
        annotations:
          summary: "Unauthorized API access attempts detected"
