+            # 1. Restrict kernel log access - prevents unprivileged users from reading dmesg
+            #    which can leak sensitive system information
+            # kernel.dmesg_restrict=1
+            # 2. Enable full ASLR - randomizes memory layout to prevent exploitation attacks
+            # kernel.randomize_va_space=2
+            # 3. Disable unprivileged BPF - prevents privilege escalation via BPF programs
+            # kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1
+            # 4. Restrict ptrace to parent-child - prevents process injection and credential theft
