Summary

Changed 'Legacy default PSP' to 'Enable secret encryption' in section header

Security assessment

Replacing Pod Security Policy (PSP) references with secret encryption guidance addresses the deprecation of PSPs while promoting encryption-at-rest for secrets. This change mitigates risks from using deprecated security controls and introduces modern data protection measures.
