## What it does

Runs Prowler 5 as two CronJobs:

- **K8s CIS scan** (Sunday) — CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.11 checks across pod security, RBAC, apiserver, etcd, kubelet, controller-manager, and scheduler
- **Image scan** (Saturday) — CVE, secret, and misconfiguration scanning of all `blumeops/*` container images in the registry via Trivy
- **IaC scan** (Saturday) — static analysis of Dockerfiles, K8s manifests, and other IaC files in the repo via Trivy

Reports are written in HTML, CSV, and JSON-OCSF to the NFS share on sifaka.
