This skill provides comprehensive guidance on deploying and tuning Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules across major cloud platforms, including AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare. It details strategies to protect cloud-hosted applications against OWASP Top 10 attacks, implement rate limiting for brute force protection, configure geo-blocking, and refine rules to minimize false positives.

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.

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 utilizes the Thinkst Canary REST API to programmatically deploy various decoy tokens, including web bugs, DNS records, MS Word documents, and AWS API keys. By monitoring these fake resources, the system detects unauthorized internal or external access attempts, providing early warnings and generating detailed deception coverage reports to strengthen security architecture.

This guide details the implementation of device posture assessment for robust Zero Trust Access Control. It outlines how to integrate endpoint health signals from multiple security platforms (CrowdStrike ZTA, Intune, Jamf) into conditional access policies. Users can enforce stringent compliance requirements—such as disk encryption, OS patch levels, and security sensor status—to ensure only compliant devices gain access to corporate resources.

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.

This guide details the implementation of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC—the three core pillars of email authentication. It provides a comprehensive workflow, including DNS record setup and best practices, to prevent domain spoofing, validate message integrity, and enforce strong anti-phishing policies across your organization's email system. Essential for building robust email security architecture.

This skill guides the implementation of email sandboxing using Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP). It covers configuring isolated detonations for suspicious attachments and URLs to detect zero-day malware, evasive phishing, and advanced threats. Learn to tune policies, monitor the TAP dashboard, and integrate findings with SIEM for robust email security architecture.

Audits a domain’s email authentication by querying SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records using dnspython, validating syntax/counts, flagging common spoofing risks, and producing remediation guidance.

This skill guides the implementation of File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) using AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment). It covers setting up AIDE configurations, creating initial baselines, performing scheduled integrity checks, and parsing detailed change reports. This is essential for maintaining strong security controls, meeting compliance requirements, and detecting unauthorized system modifications on Linux environments.

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.
