About

m9sweeper is a free and easy kubernetes security platform. It integrates industry standard open source utilities into a one-stop-shop kubernetes security tool.

Why m9sweeper

Today, technology is relied upon for the goods and services we need.

Everything from agriculture to transportation to good and services is orchestrated through information systems. And increasingly, these information systems are deployed using kubernetes.

Kubernetes is a wonderful tool, but few administrators know much about kubernetes security

And even in organizations where its administrators have learned about kubernetes security, few administrators are given adequate time to secure their clusters.

m9sweeper makes this easy by giving you a solid platform for securing your kubernetes cluster.

The learning curve is low. The tools it uses are rock-solid and endorsed by the Linux Foundation. All are even covered by the CKS (Certified Kubernetes Security) examination, which tests ones knowledge of how to secure a kubernetes cluster. m9sweeper makes kubernetes security finally accessible (and free!) for every kubernetes administrator.
