What problem does it solve?
Teams shipping software often lack a consolidated, defense-focused reference for the operational security layer: hardening CI/CD pipelines, scanning infrastructure-as-code, locking down containers and Kubernetes RBAC, and enforcing runtime API defenses like BOLA detection and rate limiting. This Skill supplies that reference so agents and engineers apply production-grade defensive patterns instead of ad-hoc guesses.
Core Features & Use Cases
- DevSecOps Hardening: Covers pipeline pinning, least-privilege tokens, secret scanning (pre-commit and CI), IaC misconfiguration detection before apply, and SAST/DAST integration.
- Container & Kubernetes Defense: Details image scanning and admission control, least-privilege RBAC, ServiceAccount token hygiene, container-escape hardening (non-root, read-only root, seccomp, dropped capabilities), and runtime threat detection.
- API Operational Defense: Maps the OWASP API Top 10 to operational controls including server-side BOLA checks, rate limiting, WAF tuning, and GraphQL/REST depth and complexity limits.
- Use Case: When reviewing a Kubernetes deployment, load this Skill to verify pods run non-root with read-only root filesystems, no ServiceAccount is bound to cluster-admin, and runtime detection alerts on escape attempts.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to review your CI/CD pipeline, Kubernetes manifests, or API gateway configuration against the defensive hardening checklists in this security reference.
