SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Security teams struggle to consistently harden complex infrastructure across containers, orchestrators, operating systems, TLS configurations, and secrets management. Misconfigurations and insecure defaults create large attack surfaces that are hard to audit and reproduce.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CIS benchmark enforcement and auditable hardening playbooks covering Docker, Kubernetes/ECS, base images, and build pipelines.
  • Actionable hardening outputs including Dockerfile rewrites, runtime configuration, and patch lifecycle recommendations.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a new service, generate a repeatable hardening plan and validation checklist that maps to compliance requirements.

Quick Start

Run the infra-harden skill to generate a CIS-aligned hardening plan for your Docker/Kubernetes stack and CI/CD pipelines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I harden Docker and Kubernetes infrastructure to meet CIS benchmarks?

To harden Docker and Kubernetes infrastructure to CIS benchmarks, generate auditable playbooks covering Dockerfile rewrites, runtime configurations, and orchestrator controls that map directly to compliance requirements.

What is infrastructure hardening for zero-trust environments?

Infrastructure hardening for zero-trust environments reduces attack surfaces by enforcing strict controls across containers, operating systems, TLS configurations, and secrets rotation to ensure continuous validation and minimal access.

Can I use automated hardening plans for CI/CD pipeline security reviews?

Yes, you can use automated hardening plans during pre-deployment checks and CI/CD pipeline security reviews to generate repeatable validation checklists and actionable patch lifecycle recommendations.

What's the best way to enforce OS and container security hardening consistently?

The best way to enforce OS and container security hardening consistently is applying repeatable, auditable controls across base images, orchestrators, and runtime configurations to eliminate insecure defaults.

Does zero-trust hardening handle secrets rotation and TLS configuration?

Yes, zero-trust hardening handles secrets rotation and TLS configuration by generating actionable outputs that secure communication channels and manage patch lifecycles across the infrastructure stack.
