CNCF FluxCD Threat Model

ControlPlane, as core maintainers of Flux CD, collaborated with the CNCF Technical Advisory Group (TAG) Security to develop a comprehensive threat model for Flux CD as part of its graduation process. This assessment represents one of the most thorough security evaluations conducted for a CNCF project.

Flux CD's graduation to a CNCF graduated project required a comprehensive security assessment, demonstrating the project's maturity, security posture, and readiness for enterprise production deployments. This threat model serves as both a security evaluation and a blueprint for secure Flux CD deployments.
