We have an application hosted in Azure under Kubernetes. In a security compliance document shared with us, there are multiple points mentioning about implementation of an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System). I understand the features and security offered by IPS. I was wondering if this is really applicable in our case. Basically, I have 2 questions.
- Is IPS necessary for web applications? Isn't it something implemented over an organization as such?
- If IPS is good for medium sized web applications, can it be implemented for applications hosted in Kubernetes? What could be the challenges?
