This skill provides comprehensive guidance on implementing Conditional Access policies within Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). It covers configuring zero trust access control, integrating signal-based policies, enforcing device compliance, and utilizing risk-based authentication. This is crucial for establishing robust security architectures aligned with NIST standards and regulatory compliance requirements.

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).

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.

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.

The GCP Organization Policy Service allows administrators to enforce centralized security guardrails and governance policies across an entire resource hierarchy (organization, folder, project). By defining constraints (List, Boolean, Custom), users can restrict risky resource configurations, ensuring compliance with internal security standards and external regulations. Ideal for security architecture, compliance checks, and cloud governance implementation.

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 deployment of deception technologies, including canary files and honeypot shares, to detect ransomware activity at its earliest stages. It outlines configuring file integrity monitoring (FIM) and using specialized tokens to trigger alerts when ransomware attempts encryption or performs lateral movement, significantly enhancing security posture beyond standard EDR.

This skill guides the design and implementation of security zones and conduits for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) following IEC 62443-3-2 standards. It covers risk-based zone partitioning, defining security levels (SL-T), deploying microsegmentation using industrial firewalls, and validating the architecture against the Purdue Model.

This skill details implementing a ransomware-resistant, immutable backup strategy using the restic tool. It leverages S3-compatible Object Lock (Compliance Mode) to ensure Write Once Read Many (WORM) storage, preventing deletion or modification by attackers. The process includes automated backup, cryptographic integrity verification (restic check), and scheduled restore testing, adhering to advanced security standards like 3-2-1-1-0.

This guide provides a comprehensive deep dive into implementing advanced network segmentation and zero-trust security controls within Kubernetes clusters using Calico. It covers standard Kubernetes NetworkPolicy, utilizing Calico's GlobalNetworkPolicy, and defining security Tiers, ensuring fine-grained, least-privilege communication between pods, and establishing robust security architectures for compliance.

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.

A comprehensive guide to implementing Mimecast Targeted Threat Protection (TTP). This suite defends against sophisticated phishing, spearphishing, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks by integrating four core modules: URL Protect, Attachment Protect, Impersonation Protect, and Internal Email Protect. Follow the detailed workflow to secure your organizational communications and meet compliance standards.
