Expel MDR for Kubernetes
Secure Kubernetes. Scale with confidence.
Gain 24x7 managed protection for your containerized workloads, detecting threats across configurations, control plane, and runtime environments.
MDR for Kubernetes. See more. Stop more. Build faster.
Our MDR for Kubernetes gives you the visibility to spot attackers and the guidance to stop them, so your team can focus on what matters most.
Deep insights with no blind spots
We connect the dots across all layers of your Kubernetes environment, from initial configurations to active runtime threats, leaving no blind spots.
Actionable detections, not alert overload
Kubernetes is great for scalability, but can be noisy. We help you get clear, prioritized findings along with step-by-step remediation plans.
Proactive resilience and expert guidance
We continuously adapt defenses based on real-time activity and align with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, building long-term resilience.
Our Solution
How Expel secures Kubernetes
Expel hooks into your Kubernetes setup (EKS, AKS, GKE, and runtime tools) and analyzes logs and behaviors with smart detections informed by CIS & MITRE ATT&CK benchmarks. Our 24×7 SOC finds threats and gives you clear fix-it plans, fast. So your team can stop risks and harden K8s defenses.
Why Expel?
Move fast and build boldly, knowing your Kubernetes environment is actively monitored and defended by experts who understand your challenges.
Deploy applications with confidence
Innovate without security becoming a bottleneck. We provide the continuous monitoring needed to secure your cloud-native applications at scale.
Reduce alert fatigue, focus on real threats
Our MDR service filters out the noise, delivering high-fidelity alerts with context, so your team can focus on genuine incidents.
Enhance DevOps and SecOps collaboration
Clear insights and remediation guidance bridge the gap between security and development, fostering efficient response and shared understanding.
Maximize your security investments
Our BYO tech approach means we work with your existing security solutions, ensuring you get the most value from your current stack.
Proactively improve security posture
Benefit from ongoing posture recommendations and insights, helping you to continuously harden your Kubernetes environments against evolving threats.
Achieve better security outcomes, faster
With 24×7 expert monitoring and rapid response, we help you quickly detect, understand, and remediate threats in your Kubernetes deployments.

Use this MITRE ATT&CK in Kubernetes mind map to better understand your attack surface and ensure you have the right detection and mitigation strategies in place to address these risks.
Understanding the 3 Classes of Kubernetes Risk
The first step toward securing Kubernetes environments is understanding the risks they pose and identifying the ways in which those risks can be mitigated.
Understanding role-based access control in Kubernetes
Understanding authorization is critical to securing Kubernetes. Learn how RBAC works and the rules that govern your access control.

Frequently asked questions
Expel detects threats across configurations, control plane, and runtime environments including container escape, privileged pod abuse, API server attacks, cryptomining, and lateral movement. These are threats traditional endpoint security tools don’t understand in a Kubernetes-native context.
Expel supports Kubernetes deployments across Amazon (EKS), Google (GKE), Azure (AKS), and runtime tools. Coverage applies wherever your workloads run, including on-cloud, hybrid, and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments, all monitored through a single Expel SOC engagement.
Expel monitors container runtime behavior through integrations with runtime security tools and cloud-native audit logs, detecting unexpected process execution, outbound connections from containers, file system writes to sensitive paths, and privilege escalation attempts inside running pods. These signals indicate an attacker actively exploiting a container.
