description: Checks for network policies in Kubernetes that do not define egress rules, which can leave the network exposed to external threats.
impact: |
Lack of egress rules in network policies can result in unrestricted outbound network traffic, which may allow data exfiltration or unauthorized access to external services.
remediation: Define egress rules in all network policies to control outbound traffic from your Kubernetes pods, thereby reducing security risks.
