IAM Permission Boundaries are an advanced AWS security feature used to set the maximum permissions an identity-based policy can grant to an IAM entity (user or role). This allows security teams to safely delegate role creation to developers while strictly enforcing least-privilege principles, preventing unintended privilege escalation.

A comprehensive guide for integrating DevSecOps practices into CI/CD pipelines. It automates security testing by incorporating Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dependency/IaC Scanning (SCA), Secrets Detection, and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). Use this workflow to shift security left, enforce compliance, and establish security gates that block vulnerable deployments.

Implement robust Static Application Security Testing (SAST) using CodeQL powered by GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS). This solution automates the detection of critical vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL injection, XSS) across large, enterprise-scale codebases, ensuring compliance and maintaining a strong DevSecOps posture throughout the development lifecycle.

This guide details implementing robust container image provenance verification using Cosign, a Sigstore tool. It covers key-based and keyless (OIDC) signing methods, enabling secure supply chain practices. Users can sign images, attach critical attestations (such as SBOMs and vulnerability scans), and enforce verification in CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes environments to ensure high integrity and trust.

This skill guides the implementation of automated security scanning for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates using industry-leading tools like Checkov and tfsec. It focuses on integrating security checks into CI/CD pipelines to detect misconfigurations (e.g., public buckets, open ports) in Terraform, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes manifests before they reach production, thereby enforcing policy-based governance and securing the development lifecycle.

This skill provides comprehensive knowledge on using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure authentication and authorization. It covers implementing various cryptographic signing algorithms (such as HS256, RS256, ES256, and EdDSA), validating signatures, enforcing claim constraints (like expiration time), and implementing robust defenses against common JWT vulnerabilities, including algorithm confusion and the 'none' algorithm attack. Ideal for building secure, scalable web APIs.

A comprehensive guide to securing Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). It teaches best practices for implementing least-privilege policies, eliminating excessive cluster-admin bindings, utilizing namespace-scoped roles, and integrating external identity providers (OIDC) to mitigate risks like privilege escalation and unauthorized data access.

This skill guides the implementation of Gitleaks for robust secret scanning across development lifecycles. It covers setting up pre-commit hooks to prevent secrets from being committed, integrating scanning into CI/CD pipelines (like GitHub Actions), and writing custom regex rules to detect and remediate hardcoded credentials (API keys, passwords, tokens) in Git history, ensuring adherence to secure SDLC practices.

This skill guides the integration of gitleaks and trufflehog into CI/CD pipelines. It automates the detection of hardcoded secrets, such as API keys, passwords, and tokens, preventing their accidental deployment. By integrating scans as a mandatory pre-deployment gate, organizations enforce strong security policies and maintain compliance.

Implements a comprehensive incident ticketing system that connects SIEM alerts to major ITSM platforms like ServiceNow, Jira, or TheHive. This solution formalizes incident tracking, automates ticket creation, and manages critical processes such as Service Level Agreement (SLA) tracking, complex escalation workflows, and compliance documentation throughout the entire incident lifecycle.

Automate comprehensive vulnerability management by deploying and operating Greenbone/OpenVAS. This skill guides the use of the python-gvm library to programmatically manage the entire scanning lifecycle: creating scan targets, executing complex vulnerability scans via the Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP), monitoring progress, and parsing detailed XML reports into actionable JSON findings. Ideal for security assessments and compliance checks.

This skill implements an automated system to monitor and alert on vulnerabilities that exceed their defined remediation Service Level Agreements (SLAs). It supports severity-based timelines, complex escalation workflows (e.g., PagerDuty, email), and generates comprehensive compliance reports, ensuring continuous adherence to security best practices.
