THE STARTING POINT

Three things to get right.

  1. Inventory exposed services and identify their owners.
  2. Use scoped workload identities instead of embedded secrets.
  3. Review drift against a documented deployment baseline.

TRY THIS IN THE LAB

A question worth testing.

Choose one test workload. Map its public entry points, identity permissions, secret stores, and logs; look for a path that crosses more than one trust boundary.

Leave a useful trail.

Write down your starting assumptions, scope, expected behavior, observed behavior, and evidence. A successful test should explain what happened and which question to investigate next.
