This comprehensive guide details how to design and implement an end-to-end DevSecOps pipeline leveraging GitLab CI/CD. It integrates crucial automated security checks—such as SAST, DAST, container scanning, dependency scanning, and secret detection—directly into the development workflow. By adopting this approach, teams can effectively 'shift left' security, identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle to ensure compliance and robust application security.

This skill details the architecture and implementation of an automated Indicator of Compromise (IOC) enrichment pipeline using OpenCTI. It demonstrates how to connect OpenCTI to various external threat intelligence services (like VirusTotal, Shodan, AbuseIPDB) to automatically gather context, correlate indicators, and assign confidence scores. This is crucial for enhancing security monitoring and prioritizing threats for cyber analysts.

This skill outlines a comprehensive, structured workflow for managing Microsoft Patch Tuesday security updates. It covers the entire lifecycle, from initial vulnerability triage and risk assessment to testing, staged deployment (Pilot, Production Rings), and final validation, ensuring compliance with risk-based remediation SLAs.

This solution guides the implementation of a phishing reporting button within email clients, creating a critical feedback loop for security teams. By integrating with SOAR platforms, reported suspicious emails undergo automated triage, including IOC extraction, sandbox analysis, and threat intelligence checks. The workflow enables rapid classification, automated remediation (e.g., mass retraction, sender blocking), and provides detailed feedback to the user reporter, significantly enhancing overall security posture.

This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for deploying and configuring a production-grade Command and Control (C2) infrastructure using the open-source Havoc framework. It covers setting up the Teamserver, configuring secure HTTPS listeners, implementing redirectors (e.g., Nginx), and deploying Demon agents for advanced post-exploitation red team operations. This skill is essential for authorized security assessments and building robust defensive countermeasures.

A comprehensive, structured playbook for Security Operations Centers (SOCs) detailing the entire lifecycle of ransomware incidents. It guides analysts through detection (SIEM queries), triage decision trees, containment (EDR/Firewall), evidence collection, and recovery phases, adhering to NIST CSF and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks.

This framework provides a systematic methodology for cybersecurity professionals to transform raw threat intelligence, observed attack patterns, and environmental telemetry into verifiable, testable hunting hypotheses. It guides the end-to-end process, from hypothesis formulation and data identification across SIEM/EDR systems, to deep correlation and reporting, enabling proactive threat detection and scope assessment.

This guide details how to build automated threat intelligence enrichment pipelines within Splunk Enterprise Security. By leveraging the Threat Intelligence Framework, users can ingest, normalize, and correlate Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from diverse external sources (such as TAXII, CSV, and custom APIs). The process uses KV Store collections and lookup searches to enrich raw security events with critical threat context, significantly reducing triage time for SOC teams.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for building automated pipelines that ingest, normalize, and operationalize threat intelligence (TI). It connects diverse sources—including STIX/TAXII feeds, open-source feeds (e.g., Abuse.ch), and commercial TI platforms—into SIEM and security tools. Use this when SOC teams need to automate the entire lifecycle of IOC ingestion, scoring, and real-time matching against network telemetry.

This system manages vulnerabilities that cannot be remediated within Service Level Agreement (SLA) timelines. It provides structured workflows for requesting exceptions, documenting compensating controls, obtaining formal risk acceptance approvals, and automatically managing expiration. It helps organizations maintain visibility into accepted risks to comply with major frameworks like PCI DSS, SOC 2, and NIST CSF.

This workflow guides SOC teams in establishing a comprehensive, structured process for vulnerability management. It utilizes major scanning tools (Nessus, Qualys, OpenVAS) to discover, prioritize, and track remediation of security weaknesses across the infrastructure. It integrates threat intelligence (CISA KEV) and asset criticality into risk scoring, ensuring resources are focused on the most critical threats.

This guide details advanced techniques for authorized security assessments, focusing on forced browsing. It helps testers discover hidden administrative pages, unprotected APIs, and configuration files by systematically enumerating URLs and challenging application access control mechanisms. Techniques involve using tools like ffuf and Gobuster for comprehensive path and directory discovery.
