Security & Testing

Automates security assessments, compliance auditing, and infrastructure hardening for Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters.

About

This skill empowers Claude to perform comprehensive security audits and implement industry-standard hardening for Kubernetes and OpenShift environments. It provides specialized guidance on Pod Security Standards (PSS), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) optimization, zero-trust NetworkPolicies, and secure secrets management using tools like External Secrets and Sealed Secrets. Whether you are conducting a CIS benchmark scan with kube-bench or configuring Security Context Constraints (SCC) for OpenShift, this skill ensures your container orchestration layer remains compliant with SOC2, PCI-DSS, and modern security best practices.

Key Features

Implementation of Pod Security Admission (PSA) and custom Kyverno/Gatekeeper policies.
Secure secrets orchestration with HashiCorp Vault, External Secrets, and Sealed Secrets.
Zero-trust network security via granular NetworkPolicies and ingress controls.
4 GitHub stars
Automated security assessment and compliance auditing using Trivy, kubescape, and kube-bench.
Least-privilege RBAC configuration and automated permission auditing for service accounts.

Use Cases

Hardening OpenShift environments using specialized Security Context Constraints (SCCs).
Auditing a production cluster against CIS benchmarks and Pod Security Standards (PSS).
Investigating security incidents and misconfigurations in containerized workloads.
