Secure¶

Security is a continuous discipline across design, build, deploy, and run. Combine platform-native controls with centralized governance.

Principles¶

• Defense in depth with least privilege for tools and actions.
• Centralize policy where possible (gateway/proxy) to avoid re‑implementing controls.
• Treat authentication, authorization, and audit as first‑class requirements.

Threats & Controls (High-Level)¶

• Input manipulation & injection: strict schemas, validation, and output sanitization.
• Over‑privilege & escalation: scoped tokens, approvals for high‑impact ops, runtime policy checks.
• Data leakage: data classification, minimization, redaction, and isolation.
• Supply chain risk: SBOMs, signing, provenance, trusted registries, vulnerability scanning.
• Drift & misconfiguration: baseline configs, policy-as-code, continuous posture checks.

Identity & Access¶

• Granular scopes per tool/action; time‑limited, auditable credentials.
• Support OIDC/OAuth2 patterns as per spec; prefer mTLS between services.
• Record who/what/when/why with immutable audit trails.

Runtime Protection¶

• Sandboxing (gVisor/Kata) and OS controls (seccomp, SELinux/AppArmor, cgroups).
• Network policy: least-privilege egress/ingress; mTLS; explicit allowlists.
• Circuit breakers and rate limits per tenant/tool; backoff with jitter.

Monitoring & Response¶

• Dedicated security log stream; alerts for policy denials, unusual access, and data exfiltration patterns.
• Incident flow: detect → contain → investigate → remediate → recover → review.

Compliance¶

• Align with organizational standards (SOC2/ISO/etc.); automate evidence capture.
• Apply continuous assurance, not point‑in‑time checks.

Next Steps¶

• Centralize controls through a gateway/proxy where possible to avoid duplicating security logic across servers.
• Align with organizational compliance standards and document continuous assurance practices.
