Antero Silva

During January 2025, contributed to the Checkmarx/kics repository by delivering a security feature that enforces a minimum TLS version of 1.3 for Azure App Service deployments. This work involved authoring a Rego policy to ensure secure TLS defaults and updating associated test coverage to verify compliance. By focusing on policy as code and leveraging cloud security best practices, the changes reduced the risk of insecure configurations and improved the reliability of automated security checks. The approach emphasized test-driven development and Git-based change management, resulting in enhanced policy compliance and a stronger security posture for Azure App Service environments.
