Assess and modify Sterling OMS to adhere to Kubernetes Application security controls and best practices for hardening applications to benefit IBM and other IBM customers.

To improve the availability, reliability, security, and scalable operations of OpenShift clusters and the applications that share them, enforcing K8s policies and best practices from Red Hat, Google, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and the National Security Agency (NSA)/Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) for hardening applications for Kubernetes platforms.

The policies ensure appropriate security, compensating controls, and operational risk mitigation – particularly in multi-tenant clusters. By improving the availability, reliability, security and scalable operations of K8s, businesses can achieve continuous, always-on operations.

    Hi Team,

    Security and compliance are part of the ongoing continuous delivery process that IBM follows to secure IBM OMS applications from potential threats.

    IBM certifies its offerings and provides guidelines based on the following considerations:

    • Infrastructure and Application Security

    • Operational-level Security and Compliance

    • Secure Engineering Practices with a zero-tolerance policy

    IBM suggest working with product support team and support team will work with dev teams directly in planning and addressing these issues.

    Closing this request as it is not a product enhancement case.
