A comprehensive guide detailing how to implement Microsoft Defender for Cloud across various workloads (VMs, containers, SQL, storage) to achieve continuous security monitoring and compliance assessment. This process utilizes Azure Policy, Log Analytics, and Azure Arc for holistic protection, enabling adaptive remediation and meeting stringent regulatory requirements like PCI-DSS and CIS standards.

This skill implements the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) v2.0. It provides a structured framework to assess, gap-analyze, and roadmap the adoption of zero trust architecture across five core pillars: Identity, Devices, Networks, Applications, and Data. It guides organizations from Traditional to Optimal maturity, aiding compliance with NIST standards and federal mandates.

This comprehensive guide details the implementation of Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) using industry-leading tools such as Amazon Macie, Google Cloud DLP, and Azure Information Protection. It provides structured workflows for discovering, classifying, de-identifying, and protecting sensitive data (PII, PHI, financial data) across cloud storage, databases, and data pipelines. Essential for achieving compliance with global regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS) and integrating robust data governance into CI/CD processes.

A comprehensive guide to continuously monitoring multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) for security misconfigurations, compliance violations, and risk drift. This solution leverages industry tools like Prowler and ScoutSuite to enforce compliance standards (CIS, SOC 2, PCI DSS) across heterogeneous cloud infrastructures, providing deep visibility into security gaps and automating remediation workflows.

This skill implements Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) across multi-cloud environments. It detects critical cloud-native misconfigurations, such as over-permissive IAM roles, exposed storage buckets, and unencrypted data, using industry-leading tools like AWS Security Hub, Azure Defender for Cloud, Prowler, and ScoutSuite. Use this when conducting comprehensive audits of complex, multi-cloud infrastructures for compliance or building consolidated security posture reports.

This skill covers the deployment and fine-tuning of Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules across major cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare. It addresses critical security needs such as mitigating OWASP vulnerabilities (SQLi, XSS), managing bot traffic, implementing rate limiting, and ensuring compliance (e.g., PCI-DSS). The workflow guides users through deploying managed rule sets, creating custom rate-based logic, and minimizing false positives.

This utility implements comprehensive Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP) by monitoring compute workloads on cloud instances (EC2/GCE). It provides runtime security controls, detecting process anomalies, unauthorized binary execution, cryptomining activity, and suspicious network connections using AWS and Google APIs. Ideal for establishing robust security postures and meeting compliance requirements.

Configure Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) Conditional Access policies to enforce zero trust access control. This skill covers critical areas such as signal-based policy design, device compliance requirements, risk-based authentication, named locations, and session controls, aligning with NIST SP 1800-35. Essential for deploying, hardening, or assessing robust Azure AD security architecture.

This guide details how to implement secure, minimal container bases using Google's distroless images. By leveraging multi-stage builds and eliminating unnecessary OS components like shells and package managers, it drastically reduces the container's attack surface. This technique is essential for enhancing security, meeting compliance standards, and building resilient, production-grade container architectures.

This skill guides the implementation and auditing of advanced container network policies using Calico's specialized CRDs (like GlobalNetworkPolicy and NetworkSet). It enables granular traffic control, zero-trust architectures, and advanced egress filtering based on domain names, which are critical for maintaining strict compliance and isolating workloads across multiple namespaces.

A comprehensive guide to configuring multi-layered DDoS protection using Cloudflare. This skill covers mitigating volumetric (L3/4) and application-layer (L7) attacks by setting up managed rulesets, Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, rate limiting, and Bot Management. Ideal for strengthening security architecture and meeting compliance standards.

This guide details how to implement robust device posture assessment within a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). It integrates endpoint health signals from major platforms like CrowdStrike ZTA, Microsoft Intune, and Jamf into conditional access policies. Use this to enforce strict compliance checks (e.g., encryption, patch levels) before granting access to critical corporate resources, significantly hardening the security perimeter.
