Shadowkube: enhancing Kubernetes security with behavioral monitoring and honeypot integration

The authors present ShadowKube, an active defense framework for Kubernetes that integrates behavioral monitoring with shadow honeypots to detect and neutralize anomalous behavior. The approach establishes behavioral baselines to identify deviations and converts compromised nodes into honeypots, with the stated purpose of isolating and trapping attackers in intrusions targeting container orchestration.
