While it’s come a long way over the past year, Kubernetes security has not yet reached maturity. But judging from the level of investment in 2021 into technologies for securing Kubernetes — the now-dominant container orchestration platform — enterprises can expect major advancements in the area during the coming year.

Developers have increasingly gravitated to the platform, which helps to support a modern approach to application development using a microservices architecture.
