### Description{% #description %}

Containers should be configured with a secure Seccomp profile to restrict potentially dangerous syscalls.This rule validates that the annotation `seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/defaultProfileName` is present on `kubernetes_pod`, `kubernetes_cron_job`, and other workload resources' pod templates and that its value is `runtime/default`.If the annotation is missing or set to a value other than `runtime/default`, the rule reports a `MissingAttribute` or `IncorrectValue` issue respectively.
