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 skill implements Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) across multi-cloud environments. It detects critical cloud-native misconfigurations, such as over-permissive IAM roles, exposed storage buckets, and unencrypted data, using industry-leading tools like AWS Security Hub, Azure Defender for Cloud, Prowler, and ScoutSuite. Use this when conducting comprehensive audits of complex, multi-cloud infrastructures for compliance or building consolidated security posture reports.

This skill implements the Diamond Model framework, providing a structured approach to analyzing complex cyber intrusions. It allows users to programmatically classify and correlate events based on four core elements: Adversary, Capability, Infrastructure, and Victim. Key functionalities include building activity threads, identifying pivot points, and generating comprehensive, pivot-ready threat intelligence reports.

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.

Deploy SailPoint IdentityNow or IdentityIQ to establish robust identity governance and access administration. This comprehensive solution manages the entire identity lifecycle, facilitates access request workflows, conducts certification campaigns, performs role mining, and enforces Separation of Duties (SOD) policies, ensuring continuous compliance reporting for enterprise IAM environments.

A comprehensive guide for implementing SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On (SSO) using Okta as the Identity Provider (IdP). This skill covers end-to-end configuration, including SP-initiated and IdP-initiated flows, secure attribute mapping, advanced certificate management (SHA-256, AES-256), and security hardening practices required for enterprise-grade identity access management (IAM) deployments. Learn to establish robust and compliant authentication architecture.

ScoutSuite is an open-source, agentless tool designed for comprehensive AWS security posture assessment. It queries AWS APIs to automatically enumerate resources across various services, identify critical misconfigurations (like public S3 buckets or overly permissive IAM roles), and generate an interactive HTML report. It is ideal for conducting cloud security audits, compliance checks, or incident response procedures using read-only credentials.

This guide details the methodology and tools for conducting authorized privilege escalation assessments within AWS environments. It systematically utilizes specialized tools like Pacu and Principal Mapper (PMapper) to identify critical IAM misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and weak cross-account trust relationships. It is essential for validating the principle of least privilege and assessing the potential blast radius of compromised credentials during authorized penetration testing.

Cartography syncs multi-cloud assets (AWS, GCP, Azure) into a Neo4j graph database. It maps relationships like IAM chains, network paths, and cross-account trusts, allowing security teams to conduct comprehensive asset inventories, identify complex attack paths, and generate detailed security reports across heterogeneous cloud environments.

A comprehensive guide to investigating AWS account compromises by querying CloudTrail logs. Use boto3 or AWS Athena to filter suspicious activities—such as unauthorized API calls, S3 data exfiltration, or IAM privilege escalation—to reconstruct a detailed attacker timeline and generate a professional forensic report.

Provides detailed, cloud-native procedures for containing security incidents across major platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). The guide outlines how to revoke compromised IAM credentials, isolate resources using network security groups and ACLs, and preserve forensic evidence through snapshots and policy enforcement, minimizing lateral movement risk during an active breach.

Provides a workflow for authorized penetration testing across AWS, Azure, and GCP to discover IAM, storage, serverless, and compute weaknesses, leveraging Pacu, ScoutSuite, Prowler, and cloud-native tools.
