Nirmata Enterprise is an enterprise-grade distribution of Kyverno, the Kubernetes-native policy engine, designed to provide comprehensive support and integrations for secure and scalable Kubernetes operations. It allows organizations to manage their Kubernetes environments with policy-as-code, ensuring consistency, security, and compliance across clusters. This solution addresses critical enterprise needs by offering long-term support, service level agreements (SLAs), and proactive fixes for CVEs and critical issues, building on the robust foundation of Kyverno OSS. The platform simplifies the enforcement of security best practices, enabling teams to confidently manage pod security, migrate from older policy solutions, and secure their software supply chain by verifying image signatures and attestations. Nirmata Enterprise facilitates micro-segmentation and multi-tenancy, reducing the blast radius of potential breaches and maximizing ROI in shared environments. It safeguards application workloads through context-aware policy enforcement and provides a unified dashboard for pipeline and cluster insights, streamlining compliance oversight for platform and security teams. Furthermore, it helps optimize resource utilization and reduce operational costs by ensuring applications adhere to designated resource budgets, particularly beneficial for large-scale deployments.

Features & Benefits

• Enterprise-Grade Kyverno Distribution
  • Maintains a downstream distribution of Kyverno with proactive CVE scans, critical fix backporting, and priority requests, ensuring a stable and secure production environment.
• Long-Term Support & SLAs
  • Offers long-term support with compatibility testing across Kyverno and Kubernetes releases, alongside Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to minimize downtime for production support issues.
• Curated Policy Sets
  • Provides pre-built policy sets for workload security, best practices, multi-tenancy, and automation, accelerating policy adoption and enforcement.
• Expert Training & Assessments
  • Delivers policy best-practices assessments, periodic training, and upgrade support to empower teams in managing their Kubernetes security posture.
• Pod Security Enforcement
  • Simplifies the enforcement of pod security and monitors compliance across any cluster, including managed Kubernetes providers, facilitating easy migration from PSPs.
• Software Supply Chain Security
  • Implements "last-mile" supply chain security by verifying image signatures and attestations, supporting multiple signing formats (e.g., in-toto, raw JSON) and integrating with major cloud providers.
• Micro-Segmentation & Multi-Tenancy
  • Enforces micro-segmentation with least-privileged access to reduce lateral movement and contains breaches, while enabling secure sharing in multi-tenant environments to improve resource utilization.
• Kubernetes Workload Protection
  • Safeguards application workloads in Kubernetes clusters through comprehensive policy enforcement and context-aware controls, simplifying management and reducing risk.
• Unified Pipeline & Cluster Insights
  • Provides a consolidated dashboard for cluster and pipeline-related insights, enabling platform teams and security administrators to oversee compliance across code repositories, clusters, and cloud resources.
• Cost Governance & Optimization
  • Ensures applications adhere to resource budgets, leading to optimal performance, improved resource utilization, and reduced costs, especially in large deployments.
• Native Kubernetes Policy Capabilities
  • Leverages Kyverno's Kubernetes-native approach for policy management, offering advanced capabilities not typically found in other policy engines.
  • Kubernetes (K8s) native policies
  • Resource validation
  • Resource mutation
  • Resource generation
  • K8s native policy exceptions
  • K8s native policy reports
  • Integrated software supply chain security
