Advanced Security Topics
- Zero-trust architecture — Never trust, always verify. Every request authenticated regardless of network location. mTLS between services
- Supply chain security — Verify dependencies: Sigstore/cosign for container signing. SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) lists all components
- Falco — Runtime security for containers. Detect: shell spawned in container, sensitive file access, network connections from unexpected processes
- Policy as Code — OPA (Open Policy Agent), Kyverno for K8s. Enforce: no privileged containers, required labels, image registry allowlist
- Web Application Firewall (WAF) — AWS WAF, Cloudflare. Block: SQL injection, XSS, rate limiting, OWASP Top 10
- Incident response plan — Detect → Contain → Eradicate → Recover → Learn. Runbooks for common incidents
- Chaos engineering — Intentionally break systems (Netflix Chaos Monkey) to build resilience and verify recovery procedures
