This guide details the implementation of robust API abuse detection mechanisms. It covers advanced rate limiting techniques, such as the Token Bucket and Sliding Window algorithms, to defend APIs against DDoS attacks, brute force attempts, and credential stuffing. It emphasizes using distributed stores like Redis for accurate, scalable, and adaptive security controls in an API gateway context.

This comprehensive guide details how to implement centralized security controls at the API gateway layer. It covers critical functionalities such as JWT authentication enforcement, advanced rate limiting, request/response validation against OpenAPI specs, and integrating Web Application Firewalls (WAF). The process is applicable across major platforms like Kong, AWS API Gateway, and Azure APIM, ensuring robust defense in depth for microservices architecture.

Implements comprehensive security controls for the entire API key lifecycle, including secure generation, hashing, storage, rotation, and revocation. This skill involves designing keys with sufficient entropy, enforcing per-key scoping, setting rate limits, and building automated workflows to prevent leakage and unauthorized access. Essential for robust server-to-server authentication.

This skill covers implementing robust API rate limiting and throttling controls using advanced algorithms like token bucket and sliding window. It teaches how to protect backend systems against attacks such as brute force, credential stuffing, and resource exhaustion. Key components include configuring limits per user, per IP, and per endpoint, utilizing Redis for distributed counting, and implementing proper HTTP 429 responses for effective abuse prevention.

This guide details how to implement multi-layered API threat protection using Google Apigee. It covers critical security policies including JSON/XML content validation, OAuth 2.0 enforcement, SpikeArrest rate limiting, and advanced regex patterns to defend against OWASP Top 10 threats. Ideal for establishing robust API security controls and meeting compliance requirements.

This guide details how to implement Google's BeyondCorp Zero Trust Access Model. It moves beyond traditional network perimeters by enforcing identity-aware access controls using IAP, Access Context Manager, and device posture verification. Ideal for securing remote and hybrid workforces migrating to Google Cloud.

This skill guides the progressive adoption of the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) v2.0. It provides a comprehensive, structured roadmap for assessing and improving security architecture across five critical pillars: Identity, Devices, Networks, Applications, and Data. Learn to perform gap analysis and implement advanced controls needed to achieve optimal zero trust compliance.

Implement a comprehensive Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solution across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure). This skill guides the use of industry tools like AWS Security Hub, Azure Defender for Cloud, Prowler, and ScoutSuite to continuously detect misconfigurations, compliance violations, and vulnerabilities. It is crucial for establishing robust, centralized security controls and meeting regulatory compliance requirements.

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.

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.

Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) provides an automated, continuous method for validating the effectiveness of security controls (EDR, SIEM, NGFW, etc.). By safely emulating real-world attack techniques mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, BAS helps organizations proactively identify security gaps and measure control maturity across the entire kill chain. It moves beyond point-in-time testing to provide an ongoing security posture assessment.

This skill guides the implementation of digital signatures using Ed25519, a high-performance cryptographic algorithm based on the Edwards curve. It provides 128-bit security with small keys and signatures, offering significant advantages over RSA and ECDSA, including deterministic signing and side-channel resistance. Learn to generate key pairs, sign documents and code, and verify signatures for robust security controls.
