 # Contributing
 
-First, it is awesome that you are considering contributing to Kubescape! Contributing is important and fun and we welcome your efforts.
+The Kubescape project manages this document in the central project repository.
 
-When contributing, we categorize contributions into two:
-* Small code changes or fixes, whose scope is limited to a single or two files
-* Complex features and improvements, with potentially unlimited scope
-
-If you have a small change, feel free to fire up a Pull Request.
-
-When planning a bigger change, please first discuss the change you wish to make via an issue,
-so the maintainers are able to help guide you and let you know if you are going in the right direction.
-
-## Code of Conduct
-
-Please follow our [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) in all of your interactions within the project.
-
-## Build and test locally
-
-Please follow the [instructions here](https://github.com/kubescape/kubescape/wiki/Building).
-
-## Pull Request Process
-
-1. Ensure any install or build dependencies are removed before the end of the layer when doing a 
-   build.
-2. Update the README.md with details of changes to the interface, this includes new environment 
-   variables, exposed ports, useful file locations and container parameters.
-3. Open Pull Request to the `master` branch.
-4. We will merge the Pull Request once you have the sign-off.
-
-## Developer Certificate of Origin
-
-All commits to the project must be "signed off", which states that you agree to the terms of the [Developer Certificate of Origin](https://developercertificate.org/).  This is done by adding a "Signed-off-by:" line in the commit message, with your name and email address.
-
-Commits made through the GitHub web application are automatically signed off.
-
-### Configuring Git to sign off commits
-
-First, configure your name and email address in Git global settings:
-
-```
-$ git config --global user.name "John Doe" 
-$ git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
-```
-
-You can now sign off per-commit, or configure Git to always sign off commits per repository.
-
-### Sign off per-commit
-
-Add [`-s`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit.txt--s) to your Git command line. For example:
-
-```git commit -s -m "Fix issue 64738"```
-
-This is tedious, and if you forget, you'll have to [amend your commit](#fixing-a-commit-where-the-dco-failed).
-
-### Configure a repository to always include sign off
-
-There are many ways to achieve this with Git hooks, but the simplest is to do the following:
-
-```
-cd your-repo
-curl -Ls https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dixudx/7d7edea35b4d91e1a2a8fbf41d0954fa/raw/prepare-commit-msg -o .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
-chmod +x .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
-```
-
-### Use semantic commit messages (optional)
-
-When contributing, you could consider using [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/), in order to improve logs readability and help us to automatically generate `CHANGELOG`s.
-
-Format: `<type>(<scope>): <subject>`
-
-`<scope>` is optional
-
-#### Example
-
-```
-feat(cmd): add kubectl plugin
-^--^ ^-^   ^----------------^
-|    |     |
-|    |     +-> subject: summary in present tense.
-|    |
-|    +-------> scope: point of interest
-|
-+-------> type: chore, docs, feat, fix, refactor, style, or test.
-```
-
-More Examples:
-* `feat`: new feature for the user, not a new feature for build script
-* `fix`: bug fix for the user, not a fix to a build script
-* `docs`: changes to the documentation
-* `style`: formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no production code change
-* `refactor`: refactoring production code, eg. renaming a variable
-* `test`: adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change
-* `chore`: updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change
-

It offers hardening, posture management, and runtime security capabilities to ensure robust protection for Kubernetes environments.
+Kubescape is an open-source Kubernetes security platform that provides comprehensive security coverage, from left to right across the entire development and deployment lifecycle. It offers hardening, posture management, and runtime security capabilities to ensure robust protection for Kubernetes environments. It saves Kubernetes users and admins precious time, effort, and resources.
 
-**Key features of Kubescape include**
+Kubescape scans clusters, YAML files, and Helm charts. It detects misconfigurations according to multiple frameworks (including [NSA-CISA](https://www.armosec.io/blog/kubernetes-hardening-guidance-summary-by-armo/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository), [MITRE ATT&CK®](https://www.armosec.io/glossary/mitre-attck-framework/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository) and the [CIS Benchmark](https://www.armosec.io/blog/cis-kubernetes-benchmark-framework-scanning-tools-comparison/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository)).
 
-* **Shift-left security**: Kubescape enables developers to scan for misconfigurations as early as the manifest file submission stage, promoting a proactive approach to security.  
-* **IDE and CI/CD integration**: The tool integrates seamlessly with popular IDEs like VSCode and Lens, as well as CI/CD platforms such as GitHub and GitLab, allowing for security checks throughout the development process.
-* **Cluster scanning**: Kubescape can scan active Kubernetes clusters for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security issues
-* **Multiple framework support**: Kubescape can test against various security frameworks, including NSA, MITRE, SOC2, and more.
-* **YAML and Helm chart validation**: The tool checks YAML files and Helm charts for correct configuration according to the frameworks above, without requiring an active cluster.
-* **Kubernetes hardening**: Kubescape ensures proactive identification and rapid remediation of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities through manual, recurring, or event-triggered scans.
-* **Runtime security**: Kubescape extends its protection to the runtime environment, providing continuous monitoring and threat detection for deployed applications.
-* **Compliance management**: The tool aids in maintaining compliance with recognized frameworks and standards, simplifying the process of meeting regulatory requirements.
-* **Multi-cloud support**: Kubescape offers frictionless security across various cloud providers and Kubernetes distributions.
-
-By providing this comprehensive security coverage from development to production, Kubescape enables organizations to implement a robust security posture throughout their Kubernetes deployment, addressing potential vulnerabilities and threats at every stage of the application lifecycle.
