Why Kubernetes controllers are the perfect backdoor

In my years securing cloud-native environments, I’ve noticed a recurring blind spot. We obsess over the “front doors” such as exposed dashboards, misconfigured RBAC, or unpatched container vulnerabilities. We harden the perimeter, but we often ignore the machinery humming inside.  Sophisticated adversaries have moved beyond simple smash-and-grab tactics. They don’t just want to run a…
