+      Section 1-3:
+      The requirements for restricting network ports and network connections between Kubernetes namespaces are already supported by OpenShift as standard using network policies and the option for default network policies (security by design).
+
+      The separation of the management network can also be implemented at the namespace level via network policies (incoming, the responsibility of the namespace administrator) and egress firewalls (outgoing, the responsibility of the cluster admins).
+
+      Externally exposed services can receive their own IP and thus data traffic can also be separated outside the platform. Inter-node communication is carried out via suitable tunnel protocols (VXLAN, GENEVE) and can also be encrypted using IPSec.
+
+      The determination of the necessary network policies for applications is supported by the network policy generator in ACS.
+      Section 4 is true by default
