Security
For security-conscious enterprises running Kubernetes on bare metal or at the edge.
Kubernetes is not secure by default.
The dynamic and distributed nature of Kubernetes environments, combined with constantly changing components, inherently introduces new security risks. Default configurations often lack the stringent security controls needed to protect across bare metal and edge. The attack surface of Kubernetes can be broad, necessitating security measures at every layer.
Minimal by design, secure by default.
Talos Linux is your immutable OS for Kubernetes, built from the ground up for absolute minimalism. Omni is the purpose-built, API-driven orchestrator for Talos Linux and Kubernetes. Never worry about configuration drift with a declarative, predictable infrastructure unlike any general Linux distro.
Our certifiably secure operations make it easier to meet requirements, satisfy auditors, and stay secure.
Our processes and controls meet the standards defined by the AICPA. That means faster procurement, smoother onboarding, and easier compliance reviews for your team.
Talos Linux delivers a FIPS-validated build, meeting US government cryptography standards (NIST). Whether you operate in federal, defense, or highly regulated industries, you get a secure, compliant foundation for Kubernetes.
Talos Linux generates and ships a full Software Bill of Materials for every release. You gain visibility into dependencies, simplify vulnerability management, and provide auditors with the transparency they expect
Inside the platform
Talos Linux and Omni give you the features you need for a secure, consistent Kubernetes infrastructure.
Run clusters securely and reliably without internet access. With support for internal registries and pre-seeded installation media, you maintain full control over your environment, meet regulatory requirements, and ensure operations continue even in isolated or highly restricted networks.
Out-of-the-box alignment with Linux Kernel Self-Protection Project standards delivers stronger memory protection, blocks unprivileged BPF, and prevents common attack vectors. Security by default with automatic safeguards that block attacks and protects your infrastructure for a more secure, resilient Kubernetes foundation.
Verifies every boot with signed, read-only images and Unified Kernel Images (UKI), creating a predictable, tamper-resistant state anchored by TPM. This ensures a predictable, tamper-resistant system state, giving you stronger security and confidence in your Kubernetes foundation.
Enforces Kubernetes baseline policies automatically, blocking insecure workloads and protecting your nodes. Stronger security without extra or manual configuration.
Guaranteed kernel integrity allowing only cryptographically trusted and signed modules, blocking tampered or unverified code and protecting runtime integrity at the system's most vulnerable layer.
Standards-based identity and access management that enables centralized, secure login across Kubernetes clusters and Talos Linux.
Automatically records every action in Omni, giving you full visibility, accountability, and compliance reporting without any extra setup.
End-to-end cluster traffic protection using encrypted WireGuard tunnels and default firewall rules via SideroLink, delivering secure communication without added complexity.
We help teams that need strong, predictable security foundations. Omni and Talos Linux take your team from reactive to confident, so you can easily perform audits, keep environments aligned, and patch quickly. If these challenges resonate, it's time to take a new approach.
