Secure-by-Design Pattern Library
When to Use This Skill
Building security into architecture from the ground up, not bolting it on afterward. These patterns enforce security properties at the application, network, and admission control layers, making violations visible and costly.
Implementation
See the full implementation guide in the source documentation.
Techniques
Integration Patterns
End-to-End Deployment
Complete example combining all patterns:
- Zero trust mTLS communication
- Defense in depth pod hardening
- Least privilege RBAC configuration
- Fail secure admission controls
Security Audit Checklist
Verification checklist before deployment:
- Zero Trust: mTLS policies in place
- Defense in Depth: Pod security contexts enforced
- Network Policies: Default-deny rules configured
- Least Privilege: Minimal RBAC permissions
- Fail Secure: Admission webhooks with failurePolicy: Fail
