This guide details the implementation of Microsoft Defender for Cloud, enabling comprehensive cloud security posture management (CSPM) and workload protection (CWPP). Learn how to secure VMs, containers, databases, and storage accounts, configure security recommendations, and establish automated remediation workflows to ensure continuous compliance and robust cloud defense.

A comprehensive technical guide covering the implementation of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) across major cloud platforms, including AWS Macie, Google Cloud DLP, and Azure Information Protection. Learn how to automatically discover, classify, and protect sensitive data (PII, PHI) residing in cloud storage, databases, and data pipelines, ensuring adherence to compliance frameworks like GDPR and HIPAA.

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 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 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 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 advanced skill systematically verifies the novelty of a proposed academic method or research idea against the latest scientific literature. It performs multi-source searches across databases like arXiv, Google Scholar, and major conference proceedings (ICML, NeurIPS). Using a multi-step process, it extracts core claims, searches multiple sources, performs cross-model verification via LLM, and outputs a structured Novelty Report, detailing overlap, prior work, and overall recommendation.

LaZagne is an open-source post-exploitation tool utilized by red teams to harvest stored credentials from compromised endpoints. It supports Windows, Linux, and macOS, extracting passwords from browsers (Chrome, Edge), databases (MySQL, SQLite), system vaults (DPAPI, LSA), and various applications. It is crucial for privilege escalation and lateral movement during authorized security assessments.

A comprehensive skill for auditing service accounts across complex enterprise environments, including Active Directory, major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and databases. It identifies risks such as orphaned accounts, over-privileged access, and non-compliant credentials, ensuring adherence to industry standards like SOX, PCI DSS, and HIPAA. Used during security assessments and compliance reviews.

This skill guide provides a comprehensive framework for automating the secure rotation of service account credentials. It addresses the challenge of managing long-lived secrets across diverse environments, including Active Directory, AWS, GCP, Azure, and databases. By implementing centralized secrets management (like HashiCorp Vault) and automated workflows, users can systematically eliminate stale credentials, dramatically reducing the risk of security breaches and non-compliance.

A comprehensive guide to performing digital forensics on SQLite databases. This skill covers recovering deleted records from freelists, analyzing Write-Ahead Log (WAL) files, and examining the internal B-tree structure to extract crucial evidence from sources like browser history and messaging apps. Essential for incident response and security auditing.

Grype is an open-source vulnerability scanner from Anchore. It inspects container images, filesystems, and SBOMs for known CVEs. It leverages Syft-generated SBOMs to match packages against multiple vulnerability databases (NVD, GitHub Advisories). Use it for security assessments, auditing, and integrating into CI/CD pipelines to enforce vulnerability standards and manage supply chain risks.
