This guide details how to implement Kubernetes Pod Security Standards (PSS) using the Pod Security Admission (PSA) controller. PSS defines three mandatory security levels—Privileged, Baseline, and Restricted—for container workloads. It is essential for enhancing security posture, ensuring compliance, and migrating away from deprecated PodSecurityPolicy (PSP) controls by applying namespace labels and defining compliant pod specifications.

This guide details the implementation of robust network access control (NAC) using 802.1X, RADIUS authentication, and platforms like PacketFence. It enables identity-based access enforcement, performs endpoint posture assessment, and dynamically assigns users to appropriate VLANs. Ideal for achieving zero-trust architecture and meeting stringent compliance standards (e.g., PCI-DSS).

A comprehensive guide and tool for implementing secure network segmentation in Operational Technology (OT) environments. It utilizes the Purdue Model and traffic baseline analysis to design secure zones using VLANs, industrial firewalls, and data diodes, ensuring migration from flat networks without operational disruption. Ideal for achieving IEC 62443 compliance and securing IT/OT convergence points.

A comprehensive guide to deploying Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs). Covers advanced security techniques like App-ID for application awareness, User-ID for identity mapping, zone-based policy enforcement, SSL decryption, and robust threat prevention profiles. Essential for building enterprise-grade network security architectures.

This skill details the deployment of Privileged Access Management (PAM) for critical database systems, including Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. It covers essential security controls such as session proxy configuration, credential vaulting, query auditing, and enforcing least-privilege access, helping organizations meet stringent compliance and security standards.

A comprehensive guide to deploying FIDO2/WebAuthn passwordless authentication using security keys and biometric platform authenticators. It covers crucial steps such as WebAuthn API integration, FIDO2 server configuration, and passkey enrollment, ensuring secure migration away from traditional password-based systems and aligning with stringent compliance standards like NIST SP 800-63B AAL3.

Pod Security Admission (PSA) is a built-in Kubernetes admission controller designed to enforce Pod Security Standards (Baseline, Restricted, Privileged) at the namespace level. It serves as a crucial replacement for the deprecated PodSecurityPolicy (PSP), allowing users to implement robust security controls and maintain compliance. By applying specific labels, administrators can set enforcement modes (enforce, audit, warn) to harden container environments against unauthorized privilege escalation and security risks.

This guide details the comprehensive implementation of privileged session monitoring and recording using Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions, such as CyberArk PSM. It covers essential steps including architectural routing, configuring keystroke logging, real-time risk analysis, and establishing secure, tamper-proof audit trails for critical administrative access (RDP, SSH, Databases). Essential for meeting strict compliance standards like SOX, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.

This tool implements network segmentation based on the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture (PERA). It helps secure Industrial Control Systems (ICS) by mapping assets and data flows to specific Purdue levels (0-5), defining necessary firewall rules, and establishing DMZs. It ensures strict traffic control between IT and OT domains, adhering to standards like IEC 62443 and facilitating secure network retrofitting.

This comprehensive guide details the deployment of HashiCorp Vault for robust, centralized secrets management in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It covers configuring dynamic secret engines for databases (PostgreSQL) and cloud providers (AWS), integrating diverse authentication methods (OIDC, AppRole, Kubernetes), and securely delivering short-lived secrets to Kubernetes workloads via agents. The primary goal is to enforce zero-trust principles by eliminating hardcoded, long-lived credentials from application code and CI/CD pipelines.

This skill guides the end-to-end deployment of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) using Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). It replaces traditional, perimeter-based VPNs by enforcing identity-based, context-aware microsegmentation. Learn to configure Identity Provider integration, deploy App Connectors, define granular application segments, and establish robust access policies for secure, outbound-only connections.

This skill guides the deployment of Google BeyondCorp Enterprise, enabling a true zero-trust security model. It utilizes Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) and Access Context Manager (ACM) to authorize every request based on deep context, including user identity, device posture, and network attributes. It is essential for organizations moving away from traditional VPNs and needing robust, context-aware security controls for protecting GCP resources and internal applications.
