### 3. Falco Rules

```yaml
# security/falco-rules.yaml
- rule: Write below binary dir
  desc: Detect writes to binary directories
  condition: >
    bin_dir and evt.dir = < and open_write
    and not package_mgmt_procs
    and not exe_running_docker_save
    and not python_running_getsched
    and not user_expected_write_binary_dir_conditions
  output: >
    File below a known binary directory opened for writing
    (user=%user.name user_loginuid=%user.loginuid command=%proc.cmdline
    file=%fd.name parent=%proc.pname pcmdline=%proc.pcmdline gparent=%proc.aname[2]
    container_id=%container.id image=%container.image.repository)
  priority: ERROR
  tags: [filesystem, mitre_persistence]

- rule: Detect shell in container
  desc: Notice shell activity within a container
  condition: >
    spawned_process and container
    and shell_procs and proc.tty != 0
    and container_entrypoint
    and not user_expected_shell_in_container_conditions
  output: >
    Shell spawned in container (user=%user.name user_loginuid=%user.loginuid
    %container.info shell=%proc.name parent=%proc.pname cmdline=%proc.cmdline
    terminal=%proc.tty container_id=%container.id image=%container.image.repository)
  priority: NOTICE
  tags: [shell, mitre_execution]

- rule: Unexpected network activity
  desc: Detect unexpected network connections
  condition: >
    evt.type = connect and evt.dir = < and container
    and not trusted_containers
    and fd.sip != "127.0.0.1"
    and not user_expected_network_activity_conditions
  output: >
    Unexpected network connection (user=%user.name command=%proc.cmdline
    connection=%fd.name container_id=%container.id image=%container.image.repository)

```

### 4. Image Signing

**Script ejecutable:** [`scripts/sign-image.sh`](scripts/sign-image.sh)

Script para firmar imágenes de contenedores con Notary.

**Cuándo ejecutar:**
- Firmar imágenes antes de deployment
- CI/CD pipelines
- Verificación de integridad de imágenes

**Uso:**
```bash
chmod +x scripts/sign-image.sh

# Firmar imagen
./scripts/sign-image.sh --image gcr.io/my-project/my-app:latest

# Con servidor Notary personalizado
./scripts/sign-image.sh \
  --image my-image:latest \
  --notary-server https://notary-server:4443
```

**Características:**
- ✅ Pull y push automático
- ✅ Firma con Notary
- ✅ Extracción automática de digest

### 5. Security Policies

```yaml
# security/security-policy.yaml
apiVersion: policy/v1beta1
kind: PodSecurityPolicy
metadata:
  name: restricted
spec:
  privileged: false
  allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
  requiredDropCapabilities:
    - ALL
  volumes:
    - 'configMap'
    - 'emptyDir'
    - 'projected'
    - 'secret'
    - 'downwardAPI'
    - 'persistentVolumeClaim'
  hostNetwork: false
  hostIPC: false
  hostPID: false
  runAsUser:
    rule: 'MustRunAsNonRoot'
  seLinux:
    rule: 'RunAsAny'
  fsGroup:
    rule: 'RunAsAny'
  readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
```

### 6. Admission Controller

**Script ejecutable:** [`scripts/admission_controller.py`](scripts/admission_controller.py)

Validador de seguridad para pods en Kubernetes admission webhook.

**Cuándo ejecutar:**
- Validación de pods antes de creación
- CI/CD pipelines
- Verificación de compliance de seguridad

**Uso:**
```bash
# Validar pod spec
python scripts/admission_controller.py validate --pod-spec pod.json

# Validar deployment spec
python scripts/admission_controller.py validate --deployment-spec deployment.json
```

**Características:**
- ✅ Validación de privileged containers
- ✅ Validación de root user
- ✅ Validación de resource limits
- ✅ Validación de security contexts
- ✅ Warnings y errors separados

## 🎯 Mejores Prácticas

### 1. Image Security

✅ **DO:**
- Scan all images
- Use minimal base images
- Sign images
- Keep images updated

❌ **DON'T:**
- Use untrusted images
- Ignore vulnerabilities
- Use outdated images

### 2. Runtime Security

✅ **DO:**
- Monitor runtime behavior
- Use security policies
- Limit privileges
- Monitor with Falco

❌ **DON'T:**
- Run as root
- Use privileged containers
- Ignore runtime alerts

### 3. Policies

✅ **DO:**
- Enforce security policies
- Use admission controllers
- Review policies regularly
- Test policies

❌ **DON'T:**
- Allow privileged containers
- Skip policy enforcement
- Ignore violations

## 🚨 Troubleshooting

### Image Scan Failures

1. Check scan configuration
2. Verify image accessibility
3. Review scan results
4. Fix vulnerabilities

### Runtime Alerts

1. Review Falco rules
2. Check container behavior
3. Investigate alerts
4. Adjust rules if needed
