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.

HashiCorp Boundary is an identity-aware proxy that establishes secure, zero-trust access to infrastructure resources, eliminating the need for traditional VPNs. It enforces a default-deny model and integrates with HashiCorp Vault to dynamically broker credentials. This ensures just-in-time, least-privilege access, automatic credential revocation, and comprehensive session recording for strict compliance and auditing.

This guide details the methodology and tools for conducting authorized privilege escalation assessments within AWS environments. It systematically utilizes specialized tools like Pacu and Principal Mapper (PMapper) to identify critical IAM misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and weak cross-account trust relationships. It is essential for validating the principle of least privilege and assessing the potential blast radius of compromised credentials during authorized penetration testing.

This skill simulates and detects critical software supply chain attacks, including typosquatting via Levenshtein distance, dependency confusion detection against private registries, and package integrity verification using SHA-256 hashing. It also performs comprehensive vulnerability scanning against known CVEs using pip-audit. It is essential for security assessments, compliance audits, and incident response when validating software component trustworthiness.

Harbor is an open-source container registry designed for robust security and compliance. This guide details the comprehensive workflow for securing your container ecosystem by implementing advanced features such as vulnerability scanning (Trivy), image signing (Notary/Cosign), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and content trust policies. Learn how to enforce image provenance and maintain strict access control in Kubernetes environments.

This guide outlines the implementation of Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) as a core component of a Zero Trust architecture. It details policies for URL risk classification, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls, and Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR). This is essential for hardening web access, protecting against zero-day exploits, phishing, and preventing data exfiltration from untrusted web content.

An expert playbook detailing DNS rebinding techniques to bypass the Same-Origin Policy (SOP). This method is used in penetration testing to exploit client-side applications that rely on DNS resolution for origin checks, allowing attackers to trick the browser into sending requests to internal, non-publicly accessible services (like cloud metadata endpoints) while maintaining a seemingly trusted origin.

This skill guides the planning and review process for complex home or small-lab network changes. It covers creating staged migration plans for VLAN segmentation, implementing local DNS resolvers (like Pi-hole), setting up secure VPN access, and ensuring network safety through detailed inventory checks and rollback procedures. It emphasizes security best practices and trust zoning.

This skill deploys Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) as a core component of a Zero Trust security architecture. It implements sophisticated isolation policies utilizing URL categorization, risk-based routing, and Content Disarming and Reconstruction (CDR) for file sanitization. It provides robust data loss prevention controls, effectively mitigating zero-day exploits, phishing, and data exfiltration across isolated web sessions, and integrating with SWG and ZTNA platforms.

Implements HashiCorp Vault's dynamic secrets engine to automatically generate, lease, and rotate short-lived credentials for databases (e.g., Postgres, MySQL), AWS IAM keys, and PKI certificates. This eliminates the risk associated with storing static secrets, ensuring compliance with zero-trust principles and automating the entire secret lifecycle.

This skill details the implementation of continuous identity verification for Zero Trust architectures. It covers deploying phishing-resistant Multi-Factor Authentication (FIDO2/WebAuthn), establishing risk-based conditional access policies, and integrating identity governance controls aligned with NIST and CISA frameworks. Learn how to move beyond traditional passwords to dynamic, adaptive security models.

Provides a comprehensive guide to implementing Zero Trust Network Architecture on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP). It enforces rigorous, per-request identity verification and context-aware authorization for services like Compute Engine, App Engine, and Cloud Run. This ensures that only authenticated users who meet specific criteria (e.g., device posture, corporate location, time window) can access protected resources, eliminating reliance on public IPs or VPNs.
