This skill provides comprehensive methods for detecting and preventing privilege escalation within Kubernetes pods and containers. It details using runtime tools like Falco for monitoring syscalls and capabilities, and implementing admission controls via OPA Gatekeeper or Pod Security Admission to enforce security best practices, thereby hardening the cluster against unauthorized access and dangerous configurations.

A comprehensive guide detailing best practices for hardening Docker containers, aligning with CIS Docker Benchmark v1.8.0. It covers host configuration, minimizing attack surface, implementing least privilege, and enhancing runtime security using techniques like read-only filesystems, Seccomp, and AppArmor. Use this when deploying secure, production-grade containerized applications.

This guide provides comprehensive steps to harden the Docker daemon configuration. It covers essential security controls like user namespace remapping, disabling inter-container communication (ICC), implementing TLS authentication, and adopting rootless mode. Implementing these measures significantly reduces the attack surface and mitigates risks associated with container breakouts and privilege escalation, aligning with CIS benchmarks.

Learn how to implement robust container security by integrating the open-source Trivy scanner (from Aqua Security) into your CI/CD pipelines. This guide covers scanning container images, Kubernetes manifests, IaC files, and code repositories to detect critical vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, and generating Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for comprehensive supply chain security.

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.

This skill guides implementing robust code signing for software artifacts (binaries, packages, containers). It ensures integrity and authenticity throughout the entire software supply chain. Learn to use traditional methods like GPG and modern, keyless approaches like Sigstore (cosign) to establish trust chains, verify provenance, and meet compliance standards (e.g., SLSA).

This guide details how to use Google Distroless images to drastically reduce the attack surface of containerized applications. By eliminating shells, package managers, and unnecessary OS utilities, these minimal base images enhance security, align with compliance standards, and improve supply chain security in Kubernetes and Docker deployments. It provides multi-stage build patterns for various languages (Go, Java, Python, Node.js).

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on implementing robust network security controls in Kubernetes using Calico's CNI capabilities. Learn to define and audit NetworkPolicy and GlobalNetworkPolicy resources to achieve zero-trust microsegmentation, restrict egress traffic, and control all pod-to-pod communications, ensuring compliance and enhanced security posture.

Binary Authorization is a critical Google Cloud security control that enforces policy-based deployment rules. It mandates that only container images with valid cryptographic attestations (proof of successful vulnerability scanning, code reviews, etc.) can be deployed to GKE or Cloud Run. Use this guide to establish robust supply chain security and compliance controls for your cloud-native applications.

This guide details implementing robust container image provenance verification using Cosign, a Sigstore tool. It covers key-based and keyless (OIDC) signing methods, enabling secure supply chain practices. Users can sign images, attach critical attestations (such as SBOMs and vulnerability scans), and enforce verification in CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes environments to ensure high integrity and trust.

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 skill guides the implementation of Mobile Application Management (MAM) policies, enabling robust data protection for corporate assets on both managed and unmanaged mobile devices (BYOD). It covers configuring app-level controls such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP), selective wiping, and containerization using platforms like Microsoft Intune and Azure AD. Use this when enforcing data separation between personal and work environments without requiring full device enrollment.
