A comprehensive guide detailing best practices for hardening Docker containers, aligning with CIS Docker Benchmark v1.8.0. It covers host configuration, minimizing attack surface, implementing least privilege, and enhancing runtime security using techniques like read-only filesystems, Seccomp, and AppArmor. Use this when deploying secure, production-grade containerized applications.

This skill guides the implementation of automated security scanning for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates using industry-leading tools like Checkov and tfsec. It focuses on integrating security checks into CI/CD pipelines to detect misconfigurations (e.g., public buckets, open ports) in Terraform, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes manifests before they reach production, thereby enforcing policy-based governance and securing the development lifecycle.

This guide details the implementation of a robust, ransomware-resilient backup architecture following the extended 3-2-1-1-0 rule. It covers critical steps such as classifying assets, defining RPO/RTO, implementing immutable or air-gapped storage, and isolating backup credentials from the production domain. Use this knowledge to design a multilayered defense against data loss and ensure reliable recovery points.

This skill guides developers through integrating Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools like CodeQL and Semgrep into GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines. It covers automating code scanning on pull requests and pushes, tuning rules to reduce false positives, uploading SARIF results, and establishing quality gates to prevent vulnerable code from merging into production.

A comprehensive guide to building production-grade Laravel applications. It details architectural patterns for achieving scalability and maintainability, covering service/action separation, advanced Eloquent usage (casts, scopes), dependency injection via service containers, and robust API routing patterns.

This comprehensive guide details industry best practices for container image hardening. It covers minimizing attack surface through multi-stage builds, utilizing distroless images, enforcing non-root users, and configuring read-only root filesystems. The techniques ensure compliance with standards like the CIS Docker Benchmark, making images secure and production-ready.

An open-source tool based on the CIS Docker Benchmark. It systematically audits critical security aspects of Docker deployments, including host configuration, daemon settings, and container runtime. It generates a detailed compliance report (pass/fail/warn) to ensure best practices and security compliance in production environments.

This sophisticated tool automates the security review of serverless functions across major cloud providers, including AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and GCP Cloud Functions. It systematically identifies critical misconfigurations such as overly permissive IAM execution roles (wildcard actions), hardcoded secrets in environment variables, and potential lack of runtime protections. Ideal for pre-production auditing and compliance checks.

This skill simulates security incidents using discussion-based tabletop exercises for Security Operations Center (SOC) teams. It is designed to test incident response procedures, evaluate cross-functional communication workflows (e.g., Legal, PR, Executive), and assess decision-making capabilities under pressure, all without touching production environments. Ideal for compliance validation, playbook refinement, and comprehensive team training.

A comprehensive guide for performing systematic security assessments on web applications. Following the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG), this process identifies critical vulnerabilities such as broken authentication, authorization flaws (IDOR), SQL injection, and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The workflow covers reconnaissance, mapping, and advanced testing techniques using tools like Burp Suite and sqlmap, ensuring deep coverage beyond automated scanner capabilities. Ideal for pre-production security validation and compliance audits.

Use Trivy to automate comprehensive vulnerability detection (CVEs, misconfigurations) in Docker container images within CI/CD pipelines. This skill guides users on establishing robust quality gates—such as integrating into GitHub Actions or GitLab CI—to ensure that only secure images are pushed to production registries, covering OS packages, dependencies, and Dockerfile best practices.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to hardening managed Kubernetes clusters on major cloud platforms (EKS, AKS, GKE). It details implementing critical security layers, including Pod Security Standards, least-privilege network policies, workload identity (eliminating static cloud credentials), and runtime security monitoring. Essential for securing production environments and meeting compliance requirements.
