Runtime security without privileged containers: Fast-tracking compliance with least privilege controls

This article explains Sysdig Host Shield Least Privilege Mode, a runtime security approach for Kubernetes that operates without host‑privileged containers. It argues that aligning runtime security with least privilege reduces audit friction, preserves Kubernetes isolation boundaries, and enables easier deployment of runtime protections while meeting compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and NIST.
