This guide details the implementation of device posture assessment for robust Zero Trust Access Control. It outlines how to integrate endpoint health signals from multiple security platforms (CrowdStrike ZTA, Intune, Jamf) into conditional access policies. Users can enforce stringent compliance requirements—such as disk encryption, OS patch levels, and security sensor status—to ensure only compliant devices gain access to corporate resources.

This guide details how to implement HashiCorp Vault's dynamic secrets engine. It automates the generation, lease management, and rotation of short-lived credentials for databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL), AWS IAM, and PKI certificates. This method eliminates the use of static, hardcoded secrets, enforcing zero-trust principles and meeting stringent compliance mandates like PCI-DSS.

This skill guides the implementation of continuous, risk-adaptive identity verification crucial for Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). It covers deploying phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2/WebAuthn), advanced risk-based conditional access policies, and identity governance strategies. Users learn how to move beyond traditional credentials by leveraging multiple signals—such as device posture, behavioral biometrics, and location context—to dynamically assess and enforce trust levels before granting access.

This guide provides a comprehensive deep dive into implementing advanced network segmentation and zero-trust security controls within Kubernetes clusters using Calico. It covers standard Kubernetes NetworkPolicy, utilizing Calico's GlobalNetworkPolicy, and defining security Tiers, ensuring fine-grained, least-privilege communication between pods, and establishing robust security architectures for compliance.

This guide details the implementation of microsegmentation using Akamai Guardicore, enabling organizations to map complex application dependencies, visualize east-west traffic flows, and enforce least-privilege network policies. It is crucial for achieving zero-trust compliance by preventing lateral movement across heterogeneous workloads in data centers, cloud environments, and Kubernetes clusters.

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).

This guide details how to use Kubernetes NetworkPolicies to enforce granular, pod-level network segmentation. It covers establishing default deny rules, defining specific ingress and egress rules for services, and implementing zero-trust microsegmentation. Use this skill to build robust security architecture and prevent lateral movement within a container cluster.

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 implementation of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) workflows using platforms like Splunk Phantom. It automates the entire incident lifecycle, including alert triage, IOC enrichment (via VirusTotal, CrowdStrike), containment actions, and ticket creation (ServiceNow). Ideal for SOC teams needing to reduce Mean Time To Respond (MTTR) and standardize complex security procedures across multiple tools.

This guide details how to implement NextDNS as a zero-trust DNS filtering layer. By utilizing encrypted resolution (DoH/DoT) and real-time threat intelligence, it blocks malicious domains, prevents data exfiltration, filters ads/trackers, and enforces granular security policies across all endpoints, aligning with Zero Trust principles and enhancing overall network security.

This comprehensive guide details the implementation of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) in multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). Following NIST SP 800-207 and BeyondCorp principles, it covers identity-centric access controls, micro-segmentation, continuous verification, and deploying Identity-Aware Proxies (IAP) to eliminate implicit network trust.

A comprehensive guide to implementing Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) across major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). This skill replaces traditional VPNs with identity-aware proxies, micro-segmentation, and conditional access policies. It ensures secure, context-aware access to cloud workloads, limiting lateral movement and adhering to BeyondCorp architectural principles.
