Title

The container platform keystore must implement encryption to prevent unauthorized disclosure of information at rest within the container platform. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Container platform keystore is used for container deployments for persistent storage of all its REST API objects. These objects are sensitive in nature and should be encrypted at rest to avoid any unauthorized disclosure. Selection of a cryptographic mechanism is based on the need to protect the confidentiality of organizational information. The strength of mechanism is commensurate with the security category and/or classification of the information.

Check Content

Review container platform keystore documentation and configuration to verify encryption levels meet the information sensitivity level. If the container platform keystore encryption configuration does not meet system requirements, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the container platform keystore encryption to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of information for applicable sensitivity level.
