Security Automation and Scripting

Automate CIS benchmark hardening by applying Ansible playbooks to enforce security best practices across your infrastructure. This approach systematically configures system settings to meet baseline security standards, reducing manual effort and configuration drift.

Manage secrets in Terraform and Ansible by integrating SOPS and Ansible Vault. These tools encrypt sensitive data at rest, allowing you to securely handle credentials and configuration files without exposing plaintext secrets in your infrastructure repositories.

Scan Docker Compose and Terraform configurations for security issues by running integrated CI/CD security checks. Tools like Trivy and Checkov analyze your Infrastructure as Code to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations before deployment.

Write custom Bash and Python scripts for security log analysis to parse and evaluate system logs. This automation extracts relevant security events and patterns from log files, enabling faster detection of anomalies and potential threats.

Prior Ansible experience is beneficial for executing the infrastructure hardening automation. The Skill utilizes Ansible playbooks to apply CIS benchmarks and requires understanding of your target environment to securely deploy and manage the server configurations.

Automate security tasks to reduce manual effort and human error during infrastructure provisioning and system hardening. Automation ensures consistent application of security best practices across code deployment and infrastructure configurations.
