As a Platform Security Engineer specializing in Application Isolation measures at Nokia CNS Security Team, I have been instrumental in ensuring the robust security of MXIE Kubernetes clusters. Focused on implementing stringent application isolation measures, my responsibilities include safeguarding the clusters against compromised applications that could potentially harm the system or misuse resources.In the course of my role, I successfully established and maintained the EDGE hardware setup for the team, ensuring uninterrupted operations. • Collaborating closely with Development and Operations teams to design and implement a robust pipeline for the deployment of POC models at scale and their seamless integration into the product.• Assisted in implemented Kyverno-PSS to enforce Baseline security policies and permissions along with Image exception. Utilized Linux capabilities and network policies to fortify container security, ensuring only authorized actions and communications occurwithin the cluster namespaces.• Performed Thesis POC in the Nokia Edge Cluster, involving open port scanning and network policy implementation.• Produced comprehensive white paper documentation for system configurations and processes facilitating seamless knowledgetransfer and enhancing the team’s ability to troubleshoot and maintain systems effectively.• Performed penetrative Security tests on EDGE infra, assessing vulnerabilities and responses to different attack vectors.• Developed POC tool to assess container rootlessness within a multi-namespace, microservices-driven cluster, along with conducting threat and risk analysis for EDGE cluster.

MXIE Security [Topic: Network security policies for containers in cloud applications]• Developed security tools and policy documentation templates to secure external ports in applications deployed on a Minikube cluster. Utilized a zero trust declarative template to derive port information for creating precise network policies in Kubernetes, thereby ensuring authorized port access and mitigating reverse tunneling threats. Following policy creation, CNI agents were employed to enforce these policies within the Kubernetes cluster, further enhancing network transparency and resilience.
