Starboard is a Kubernetes-native security toolkit that integrates heterogeneous security scanners and exposes their results as Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions accessible via the Kubernetes API. It has been discontinued and merged into Trivy and the Trivy-Operator.

Use cases

  • scan kubernetes workloads for vulnerabilities
  • audit kubernetes resource configurations with OPA policies
  • run CIS benchmark compliance checks on a cluster
  • generate NSA/CISA kubernetes hardening compliance reports
  • view security reports for pods in Lens or Octant
  • store penetration test results as kubernetes CRDs

When to choose

  • you are already invested in the Starboard CLI or operator and need its exact CRD schema
  • you need a Go module to integrate security scanner outputs into Kubernetes CRDs

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - use trivy-operator and trivy kubernetes instead
  • you need ongoing support or new features
  • you want actively maintained vulnerability scanning for Kubernetes
