What's on the bench.
Implementing Code Signing For Artifacts
This skill covers implementing code signing for build artifacts to ensure integrity and authenticity throughout the software supply chain. It addresses signing binaries, packages, and containers using GPG, Sigstore, and platform-specific signing tools, establishing trust chains, and verifying signatures in deployment pipelines.
Implementing Cloud Workload Protection

Scans for cryptomining, reverse shells, and unauthorized binaries. Use when building runtime security controls for cloud compute workloads.
Implementing Cloud Waf Rules
This skill covers deploying and tuning Web Application Firewall rules on AWS WAF, Azure WAF, and Cloudflare to protect cloud-hosted applications against OWASP Top 10 attacks. It details configuring managed rule sets, creating custom rules for business logic protection, implementing rate limiting, deploying bot management, and reducing false positives through rule tuning and logging analysis.
Implementing Cloud Vulnerability Posture Management
Implement Cloud Security Posture Management using AWS Security Hub, Azure Defender for Cloud, and open-source tools like Prowler and ScoutSuite for multi-cloud vulnerability detection.
Implementing Cloud Trail Log Analysis
Implementing AWS CloudTrail log analysis for security monitoring, threat detection, and forensic investigation using Athena, CloudWatch Logs Insights, and SIEM integration to identify unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and suspicious API activity.
Implementing Cloud Security Posture Management
Implementing Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to continuously monitor multi-cloud environments for misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security risks using Prowler, ScoutSuite, AWS Security Hub, Azure Defender, and GCP Security Command Center.
Implementing Cisa Zero Trust Maturity Model
Implement the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model v2.0 across the five pillars of identity, devices, networks, applications, and data to achieve progressive organizational zero trust maturity.
Implementing Canary Tokens For Network Intrusion
Deploys DNS, HTTP, and AWS API key canary tokens across network infrastructure to detect unauthorized access and lateral movement. Integrates with webhook alerting (Slack, Teams, email, generic HTTP) for real-time intrusion notifications. Provides automated token generation, placement strategies, and monitoring for enterprise network environments. Use when building deception-based network intrusion detection with Canarytokens.org and Thinkst Canary platforms.
Implementing Browser Isolation For Zero Trust
Deploys remote browser isolation (RBI) as a core component of a Zero Trust architecture. Implements isolation policies with URL categorization and risk-based routing, content disarming and reconstruction (CDR) for file sanitization, data loss prevention controls within isolated sessions, and integration with Secure Web Gateway and ZTNA platforms. Based on Cloudflare Browser Isolation, Menlo Security, and Zscaler RBI approaches. Use when hardening web access against zero-day exploits, phishing, credential theft, and browser-based data exfiltration.
Implementing Bgp Security With Rpki
Implement BGP route origin validation using RPKI with Route Origin Authorizations, RPKI-to-Router protocol, and ROV policies on Cisco and Juniper routers to prevent route hijacking.
Implementing Beyondcorp Zero Trust Access Model
Implementing Google's BeyondCorp zero trust access model to eliminate implicit trust from the network perimeter, enforce identity-aware access controls using IAP, Access Context Manager, and Chrome Enterprise Premium for VPN-less secure application access.
Implementing Azure Defender For Cloud
Implementing Microsoft Defender for Cloud to enable cloud security posture management, workload protection across VMs, containers, databases, and storage, configure security recommendations, and set up adaptive security controls with automated remediation.
Implementing Azure Ad Privileged Identity Management
Configure Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management to enforce just-in-time role activation, approval workflows, and access reviews for Azure AD privileged roles.
Implementing AWS Security Hub Compliance
Implementing AWS Security Hub to aggregate security findings across AWS accounts, enable compliance standards like CIS AWS Foundations and PCI DSS, configure automated remediation with EventBridge and Lambda, and create custom security insights for organizational risk management.
Implementing AWS Macie For Data Classification
Implement Amazon Macie to automatically discover, classify, and protect sensitive data in S3 buckets using machine learning and pattern matching for PII, financial data, and credentials detection.
Implementing AWS Iam Permission Boundaries
Configure IAM permission boundaries in AWS to delegate role creation to developers while enforcing maximum privilege limits set by the security team.
Implementing AWS Config Rules For Compliance
Implementing AWS Config rules for continuous compliance monitoring of AWS resources, deploying managed and custom rules aligned to CIS and PCI DSS frameworks, configuring automatic remediation with SSM Automation, and aggregating compliance data across accounts.
Implementing Attack Surface Management
Implements external attack surface management (EASM) using Shodan, Censys, and ProjectDiscovery tools (subfinder, httpx, nuclei) for asset discovery, subdomain enumeration, service fingerprinting, and exposure scoring. Includes a weighted risk scoring algorithm based on OWASP attack surface analysis methodology and the Relative Attack Surface Quotient (RSQ). Use when building continuous ASM programs or performing external reconnaissance for security assessments.
Implementing Attack Path Analysis With Xm Cyber
Deploy XM Cyber's continuous exposure management platform to map attack paths, identify choke points, and prioritize the 2% of exposures that threaten critical assets.
Implementing Aqua Security For Container Scanning
Deploy Aqua Security's Trivy scanner to detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, and license issues in container images across CI/CD pipelines and registries.
Implementing Application Whitelisting With Applocker
Implements application whitelisting using Windows AppLocker to restrict unauthorized software execution on endpoints, reducing attack surface from malware, unauthorized tools, and shadow IT. Use when enforcing application control policies, meeting compliance requirements for software restriction, or preventing execution of unsigned or untrusted binaries. Activates for requests involving AppLocker, application whitelisting, software restriction, or executable control.
Implementing API Threat Protection With Apigee
Implement API threat protection using Google Apigee policies including JSON/XML threat protection, OAuth 2.0, SpikeArrest, and Advanced API Security for OWASP Top 10 defense.
Implementing API Security Posture Management
Implement API Security Posture Management to continuously discover, classify, and score APIs based on risk while enforcing security policies across the API lifecycle.
Implementing API Schema Validation Security
Implement API schema validation using OpenAPI specifications and JSON Schema to enforce input/output contracts and prevent injection, data exposure, and mass assignment attacks.
