• Security in a service mesh involves protecting multiple layers, including the underlying infrastructure, Kubernetes platform, Istio service mesh, and applications
• Misconfiguration is a major security risk and is often caused by human error
• The main threat actors include internal attackers, contributors to Istio and third-party dependencies, and untrusted users
• A survey will be conducted to identify common security incidents and curate a list of best practices
• Security requires a combination of protection mechanisms and policies based on the assumption that attackers are already inside the network
