# Integration with Kubernetes Cluster

Delivery Shield offers continuous monitoring of your Kubernetes cluster, by detecting the changes in the application deployments in real-time. For each change, Delivery Shield evaluates specific security policies and can prevent actions that violate these policies. By using the secure Kube-detector agent, Delivery Shield ensures constant oversight of your cluster. Additionally, Delivery Shield leverages the open-source tool Kubescape to analyze your cluster’s security posture. Before any deployment, Kubescape’s scan results are reviewed to ensure your Kubernetes cluster is secure and compliant with the industry standards like CIS benchmarks.

The Cluster tab is used to manage the clusters to which your applications are getting deployed.
