This tool systematically generates, validates, and ranks concrete, publishable research ideas based on a broad research direction provided by the user. It guides the user through the entire idea discovery pipeline, from initial landscape survey (Phase 1) to validation (novelty checks, experiments) and review, ensuring the generated ideas are novel and relevant for academic publication. It manages complex workflow orchestration and utilizes multiple external tools.

This guide details implementing comprehensive API security using Google Apigee. It covers multiple advanced policies, including JSON/XML content validation, regex injection detection (SQLi, XSS), rate limiting (SpikeArrest), and robust OAuth 2.0 enforcement. Use this when shielding critical APIs from OWASP API Top 10 threats and malicious client abuse patterns.

This guide details how to implement AWS Config managed and custom rules to establish continuous compliance monitoring for AWS resources. It helps detect configuration drift against standards like CIS and PCI DSS, enabling automated remediation using services like SSM Automation. It is ideal for building centralized compliance dashboards and aggregating audit evidence across multiple AWS accounts via AWS Organizations.

Explores how to implement AWS IAM Permission Boundaries to cap the maximum permissions granted to users or roles. This advanced security feature allows security teams to safely delegate IAM management to developers for self-service while strictly enforcing the principle of least privilege and preventing privilege escalation in cloud environments.

This comprehensive guide details how to establish AWS Security Hub as a centralized Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) platform. It aggregates security findings from multiple AWS services (GuardDuty, Inspector, Macie) and third-party tools. Users can enforce compliance against industry standards (CIS, PCI-DSS, NIST), automate remediation workflows via EventBridge, and generate comprehensive evidence for compliance audits.

This guide details the implementation of Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM), enforcing Just-in-Time (JIT) role activation, mandatory approval workflows, and periodic access reviews for critical Azure AD and resource roles. It aligns with Zero Trust principles by eliminating standing privileges.

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 skill guides the implementation of continuous, risk-adaptive identity verification crucial for Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). It covers deploying phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2/WebAuthn), advanced risk-based conditional access policies, and identity governance strategies. Users learn how to move beyond traditional credentials by leveraging multiple signals—such as device posture, behavioral biometrics, and location context—to dynamically assess and enforce trust levels before granting access.

This skill guides the implementation of Just-In-Time (JIT) access provisioning, eliminating standing privileges by granting temporary, time-bound access. It covers designing robust approval workflows, integrating with PAM/IGA systems, automating revocation, and adhering to Zero Trust principles, significantly reducing the attack surface.

This skill provides comprehensive implementation for secure JWT (RFC 7519) signing and verification using multiple algorithms (HMAC-SHA256, RSA-PSS, ES256, EdDSA). It covers token expiration, claims validation, and crucial defenses against common attacks like algorithm confusion and 'none' algorithm bypass, essential for hardening web application authentication systems.

This skill covers the comprehensive design and implementation of network segmentation using layered security controls. It details how to establish isolated security zones (e.g., DMZ, PCI CDE, Management) using VLANs, firewall zones, and granular ACLs. The techniques advance from traditional Layer 2 VLAN separation to modern Layer 7 microsegmentation, enforcing zero-trust principles and meeting strict compliance standards like PCI DSS and HIPAA.

A comprehensive guide to hardening Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) by enforcing the principle of least privilege. This skill covers auditing excessive cluster-admin roles, implementing namespace-scoped roles, separating service accounts, and integrating external identity providers (OIDC) to significantly reduce the attack surface against privilege escalation and lateral movement.
