Description
The container platform keystore is used to store credentials that are used to build a trust between the container platform and an external source. This trust relationship is authorized by the organization. If a malicious user were to have access to the container platform keystore, two negative scenarios could develop: 1. Keys not approved could be introduced. 2. Approved keys could be deleted, leading to the introduction of container images from sources the organization never approved. To thwart this threat, it is important to protect the container platform keystore and give access to only individuals and roles approved by the organization.
