Experience
GitHub Action Workflows with Security
Next, I collaborated with application security teams to define custom infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security policies, reducing production misconfigurations in Kubernetes environments. I also provided post-scan analysis to guide developers in fixing issues and improving secure coding practices. To track vulnerabilities, generate compliance reports, and strengthen cloud security posture, I utilized Prisma Cloud's dashboard.
Finally, I achieved seamless security integration into DevOps workflows, ensuring compliant and robust infrastructure.
