## Overview

Configure Claude Code sandbox security with file system and network isolation boundaries. Ensures safe code execution with proper access controls and resource limits.

## Prerequisites

**Required:**
- Claude Code environment
- Understanding of security requirements

**Optional:**
- Existing security policies
- Compliance requirements (SOC2, HIPAA, etc.)

**Verification:**
```bash
# Check Claude Code version
claude --version

# Verify sandbox availability
echo "Sandbox check"
```

## Agent Responsibilities

### security-manager (Security Architect)
**Role:** Design security policies, define boundaries, validate configurations

**Expertise:**
- Security architecture
- Access control systems
- Compliance requirements
- Threat modeling

**Output:** Security policies, boundary definitions, validation tests

### cicd-engineer (Infrastructure Specialist)
**Role:** Implement security configurations, manage resources, deploy policies

**Expertise:**
- Infrastructure management
- System configuration
- Deployment automation
- Monitoring setup

**Output:** Configuration files, deployment scripts, monitoring tools

## Phase 1: Assess Security Requirements

**Objective:** Identify security needs, compliance requirements, and threat models

**Evidence-Based Validation:**
- Requirements documented
- Threat model created
- Compliance needs identified
- Risk assessment complete

**security-manager Actions:**
```bash
# Pre-task coordination
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks pre-task --description "Assess sandbox security requirements"

# Create security directory structure
mkdir -p sandbox-security/{policies,config,tests,docs}

# Document security requirements
cat > sandbox-security/docs/REQUIREMENTS.md << 'EOF'
# Sandbox Security Requirements

## Objectives
- Prevent unauthorized file access
- Isolate network communications
- Enforce resource limits
- Audit all operations
- Comply with security standards

## Threat Model

### Threats
1. **File System Escape**: Unauthorized access to host files
2. **Network Intrusion**: Malicious network connections
3. **Resource Exhaustion**: DoS through resource abuse
4. **Data Exfiltration**: Unauthorized data transfer
5. **Privilege Escalation**: Gaining unauthorized permissions

### Mitigations
1. File system boundaries and whitelisting
2. Network isolation and domain restrictions
3. CPU/memory/disk quotas
4. Audit logging and monitoring
5. Least privilege principles

## Compliance Requirements
- SOC 2 Type II (if applicable)
- GDPR data protection
- Internal security policies
- Industry standards (OWASP, NIST)

## Access Control
- Read-only for system files
- Read-write for workspace only
- No access to sensitive directories (/etc, /root, /sys)
- Temp directory with size limits

# Threat Assessment

## Risk Matrix

| Threat | Likelihood | Impact | Risk Level | Mitigation Priority |
|--------|-----------|--------|------------|-------------------|
| File Escape | Medium | Critical | High | P0 |
| Network Intrusion | Low | High | Medium | P1 |
| Resource Exhaustion | High | Medium | Medium | P1 |
| Data Exfiltration | Low | Critical | High | P0 |
| Privilege Escalation | Low | Critical | High | P0 |

## Recommended Controls

### Critical (P0)
1. File system boundaries with strict whitelisting
2. Network isolation with trusted domain list
3. Mandatory audit logging

### High (P1)
4. Resource quotas and limits
5. Real-time monitoring and alerts
6. Regular security audits

### Medium (P2)
7. Automated security testing
8. Incident response procedures
9. Security awareness training

- Monitoring system
- Complete documentation

## Best Practices

1. **Defense in Depth**: Multiple security layers
2. **Least Privilege**: Minimal access rights
3. **Whitelist Approach**: Deny by default
4. **Continuous Monitoring**: Real-time security
5. **Regular Testing**: Weekly security tests
6. **Documentation**: Keep updated
7. **Audit Trail**: Log all operations
8. **Incident Response**: Plan for breaches
