+The {external-secrets-operator} includes pre-defined `NetworkPolicies` for security, but you must configure additonal, custom policies through the `ExternalSecretsConfig` custom resource to set the external-secrets controller egress allow policies to communicate with external providers. These configurable policies are set via the `ExternalSecretsConfig` custom resource to establish the egress allow policy.
