+
+You can use Pod Security Admission by applying labels to the `ingress-nginx` namespace as instructed by the [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/enforce-standards-namespace-labels).

+Example:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1

+    name: ingress-nginx

+Example:
+
+```yaml

+  labels:
+    kubernetes.io/metadata.name: ingress-nginx
+    name: ingress-nginx
