Characters with wasted potential : kaminari Denki

I have never seen a series treat it's own electric/thunder user so badly like MHA does with denki kaminari.

Here is the thing kaminari is a pretty cool character; I like his character design and I think his character arc is alright but can use a lot of change.

In all honesty when it comes to kaminari I feel like his arc is literally supposed to be the same as mineta. Both of their arcs focusing on how they treat woman, them being cowards but growing out of it and learning how to be proper heros. However, when it comes to developments kaminari has his speed runned or just has him instantly change.

1) This is controversial but I personally would use have him be contrasted/foiled to mineta just to make his development more impactful.

2) I would have him show more of his cowardice and how he only really wanted to be a hero because its a cool thing to do or to follow in the footsteps of his mother (I would have pro hero Electra or just a simple electrician be his mother)

3) I would build up his friendship with jirou from the beginning and have both of them develop into better people/heroes with that friendship. (Maybe they can become a ship considering I do ship kamijirou 🤷‍♀️)

4) Emphasise the struggle kaminari has with his quirk (how quick he is to go overboard due to the lack of control) and how he tries to work to overcome it in his own unique way. I would have it so that his mum already helped him a bit by teaching him how to use his quirk in little amounts and big amounts but he struggles to get it into a medium range. I would also have him just experiment with it overall and maybe he could build a little friendship with Izuku or even mei who could introduce ideas like denki being able to act as a circuit, use tasers or even charge phones.

5) As kaminari gets to understand and become a better friend with jirou his views on mineta start to change and his whole views of "I have to go easy one girls" or " it's mean to fight girls like that" (something he said to bakugo during the sports festival) start to change as he grows respectful and becomes more appreciative to woman.

6) this is a 50/50 but I saw this one fic that said it would be cool if kaminari just started using flirting as a fighting tactic to fluster villains and easily take them down. That's something I kind of like and would be interesting to have incorporated into kaminari's character. You could have him work with midnight to build up a skill like that (would make midnight's death more impactful)

7) I feel like as it comes to the war arc his cowardice should logically still be there but the desire to help protect his friends and reunite with them should be stronger and we would still get the whole epic scene he had in the first war arc

8) have him canonically have ADHD it makes sense. I mean this is a universe just like ours the only thing different is superpowers and idk if I read his character wrong but to me kaminari has always given me the whole idea that he has ADHD or that his character is 'ADHD coded'. In my opinion it would be interesting for him to not really know why he struggles at doing something that everyone can find easy to do so when it comes to his grades he struggles in that aspect and has conflict because of that however, he can go through an arc realising that he has ADHD and find ways to both accept that and adapt to it (I don't know if that sounds rude, Iam sorry if it does)

9) I really like denki and jirou bonding over music and him actually respecting and liking her passion. I feel like we should get more of denki making music and exploring his more of his own passions. Like we know denki likes music and manga so why don't we have characters casually talking about that or doing that with him. I also like the idea of denki simplifying everything (like the UA security system) and making it seem like something that would come out of manga so he can understand it better

I feel like that kaminari could of been an interesting character with flawed views that end up developing. Ultimately, I feel like the reason I prefer him to mineta (even though they both act in a very disgusting Mannar towards woman) is that he shows chances of change and his character isn't just being a weird, disgusting pervert like mineta's is. To me kaminari could of been a coward kid who found it difficult to really fit in and do the things that everyone does but ultimately ends up overcoming that struggle while expanding his views and becoming a more respectful person.

Security and Compliance in the Cloud: Best Practices for Modern Workflows

As businesses accelerate cloud adoption, security and compliance remain two of the most critical—and complex—challenges they face. Cloud environments offer flexibility, scalability, and cost savings, but they also require a new approach to protecting data, ensuring privacy, and meeting regulatory requirements.

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, traditional security methods are no longer sufficient. Organizations must adopt cloud-native security practices and embed compliance into every stage of their workflow, from development to deployment.

This article explores the top best practices for maintaining robust security and achieving compliance in modern cloud-based environments.

The Cloud Security Landscape

Cloud security involves protecting data, applications, and infrastructure from internal and external threats. It encompasses everything from access control and data encryption to incident response and vulnerability management.

The shared responsibility model defines that while cloud providers (like AWS, Azure, or GCP) secure the infrastructure, organizations are responsible for securing their own data and workloads. That makes it vital for businesses to adopt proactive security strategies tailored for cloud environments.

Key Compliance Considerations

Compliance refers to adhering to regulatory standards and industry frameworks, such as:

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)

ISO/IEC 27001

SOC 2

Each regulation comes with specific requirements for how data is stored, processed, and protected—especially in the cloud.

Failing to comply can lead to legal consequences, financial penalties, and reputational damage. That’s why security and compliance must go hand-in-hand.

Best Practices for Security and Compliance in the Cloud

1. Implement Zero Trust Architecture

Adopt a Zero Trust model that assumes no user or system is inherently trusted. This involves:

Strict identity verification

Least privilege access

Micro-segmentation

Continuous monitoring

Zero Trust helps reduce the attack surface and prevents lateral movement in case of breaches.

2. Use Encryption Everywhere

Encrypt data at rest, in transit, and during processing using industry-standard protocols. Make use of:

Key Management Services (KMS)

Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) strategies

Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)

This ensures sensitive information remains protected, even if unauthorized access occurs.

3. Automate Compliance Monitoring

Manual compliance audits are time-consuming and error-prone. Use automated tools that continuously monitor and audit your cloud infrastructure for compliance against predefined frameworks.

Tools like AWS Config, Azure Policy, and third-party solutions such as Prisma Cloud or Dome9 can detect and remediate policy violations in real-time.

4. Secure the CI/CD Pipeline

Your development pipeline is a potential attack vector. Secure it by:

Scanning code for vulnerabilities (SAST/DAST)

Verifying container and artifact integrity

Enforcing code signing and access controls

Implementing secrets management

This ensures that security and compliance are integrated into your DevSecOps workflow from day one.

5. Regularly Audit Access Controls

Set up role-based access controls (RBAC) and enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA). Periodically review access logs to detect unusual activity and revoke unused permissions.

Use tools like IAM analyzers to maintain tight control over who can access what.

6. Perform Continuous Risk Assessments

Cloud environments are dynamic, which means your security posture can change quickly. Schedule regular penetration testing, vulnerability scans, and risk assessments to stay ahead of threats.

Integrate these insights into your incident response plans to be better prepared for emergencies.

7. Leverage Cloud-Native Security Services

Cloud providers offer robust native security services. Use them to your advantage:

AWS GuardDuty, Inspector, Security Hub

Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Scans source code for vulnerabilities before deployment (e.g., SonarQube, Checkmarx).

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Identifies security flaws in running applications (e.g., OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite).

Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Detects vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies (e.g., Snyk, WhiteSource).

🔹 Example: Running SAST scans automatically in a Jenkins pipeline to detect insecure coding practices before merging code.

2. Secrets Management & Access Control

Automating the detection and handling of hardcoded secrets, API keys, and credentials using tools like HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and CyberArk.

Implementing least privilege access via automated IAM policies to ensure only authorized users and services can access sensitive data.

🔹 Example: Using HashiCorp Vault to generate and revoke temporary credentials dynamically instead of hardcoding them.

3. Automated Compliance & Policy Enforcement

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security scans using Checkov, OPA (Open Policy Agent), or Terraform Sentinel ensure that cloud configurations follow security best practices.

Automated audits and reporting help maintain compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 standards.

🔹 Example: Using Checkov to scan Terraform code for misconfigurations before provisioning cloud resources.

4. Container & Kubernetes Security

Scanning container images for vulnerabilities using Trivy, Aqua Security, or Anchore before pushing them to a registry.

Implementing Kubernetes security policies (e.g., Pod Security Policies, Kyverno, or Gatekeeper) to enforce security rules.

🔹 Example: Using Trivy in a CI/CD pipeline to scan Docker images before deployment to Kubernetes.

5. Continuous Security Monitoring & Threat Detection

Implementing SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tools like Splunk, ELK Stack, or AWS Security Hub for real-time security event detection.

Using Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) (e.g., Snort, Suricata) to detect and respond to security threats.

AI-driven anomaly detection via Amazon GuardDuty, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or Google Chronicle.

🔹 Example: Configuring AWS Security Hub to automatically detect and alert on misconfigurations in an AWS environment.

6. Automated Incident Response & Remediation

Using SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) platforms like Splunk SOAR or Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR to automate security incident triage and response.

Creating automated playbooks for threat mitigation, such as isolating compromised containers or blocking suspicious IPs.

🔹 Example: Automating AWS Lambda functions to quarantine an EC2 instance when an anomaly is detected.

Bringing It All Together: A DevSecOps Pipeline Example

1️⃣ Code Commit: Developers push code to a Git repository. 2️⃣ Static Code Analysis: SAST tools scan for vulnerabilities. 3️⃣ Dependency Scanning: SCA tools check third-party libraries. 4️⃣ Secrets Detection: Git hooks or automated scanners look for hardcoded secrets. 5️⃣ Container Security: Images are scanned before being pushed to a container registry. 6️⃣ Infrastructure as Code Scanning: Terraform or Kubernetes configurations are checked. 7️⃣ Automated Security Testing: DAST and penetration tests run in staging. 8️⃣ Compliance Checks: Policies are enforced before deployment. 9️⃣ Real-time Monitoring: Logs and security events are analyzed for threats. 🔟 Incident Response: Automated workflows handle detected threats.

Final Thoughts

Security automation in DevOps is critical for ensuring that security does not slow down development. By integrating automated security testing, policy enforcement, and monitoring, teams can build resilient, compliant, and secure applications without sacrificing speed.
