Misconfigured workload identity could allow a compromised container to impersonate another service and access sensitive data.

Here’s a solid write-up you can use or adapt, focusing on risk assessment examples — whether you’re preparing a compliance document, a blog post, or internal training material. Write-Up: Practical NG2 Risk Assessment Examples Introduction Risk assessment in an NG2 environment (typically referring to next-generation network or security frameworks) goes beyond traditional vulnerability scanning. It requires evaluating dynamic, software-defined, and often cloud-native components. Below are concrete examples of NG2 risk assessments organized by common control families. Example 1: NG2 Access Control Risk Scenario A Kubernetes cluster running microservices with workload identity federation (no traditional service accounts).

In-band telemetry headers leak internal topology and metadata to external networks.

Privileged user bypasses GitOps and manually changes a production NG2 router ACL.
