-### Quick start
+## CIS Scanning as part of Trivy and the Trivy Operator
+
+[Trivy](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy), the all in one cloud native security scanner, can be deployed as a [Kubernetes Operator](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-operator) inside a cluster.
+Both, the [Trivy CLI](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy), and the [Trivy Operator](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-operator) support CIS Kubernetes Benchmark scanning among several other features.
+
+## Quick start
 
 There are multiple ways to run kube-bench.
 You can run kube-bench inside a pod, but it will need access to the host's PID namespace in order to check the running processes, as well as access to some directories on the host where config files and other files are stored.

+          Azure Active Directory integration
+          The security of AKS clusters can be enhanced with the integration of Azure Active Directory
+          (AD). Built on decades of enterprise identity management, Azure AD is a multi-tenant,
+          cloud-based directory, and identity management service that combines core directory
+          services, application access management, and identity protection. With Azure AD, you can
+          integrate on-premises identities into AKS clusters to provide a single source for account
+          management and security.
+          Azure Active Directory integration with AKS clusters
+          With Azure AD-integrated AKS clusters, you can grant users or groups access to Kubernetes
+          resources within a namespace or across the cluster. To obtain a kubectl configuration
+          context, a user can run the az aks get-credentials command. When a user then interacts
+          with the AKS cluster with kubectl, they're prompted to sign in with their Azure AD
+          credentials. This approach provides a single source for user account management and
+          password credentials. The user can only access the resources as defined by the cluster
+          administrator.
+          Azure AD authentication is provided to AKS clusters with OpenID Connect. OpenID Connect
+          is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. For more information on OpenID
+          Connect, see the Open ID connect documentation. From inside of the Kubernetes cluster,
+          Webhook Token Authentication is used to verify authentication tokens. Webhook token
+          authentication is configured and managed as part of the AKS cluster.

+          Fargate when they are launched. For more information, see AWS Fargate profile.
+
+          Note: If you created your cluster with eksctl using the --fargate option, then a Fargate profile has
+          already been created for your cluster with selectors for all pods in the kube-system
+          and default namespaces. Use the following procedure to create Fargate profiles for
+          any other namespaces you would like to use with Fargate.
