This skill guides the implementation of continuous, risk-adaptive identity verification crucial for Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). It covers deploying phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2/WebAuthn), advanced risk-based conditional access policies, and identity governance strategies. Users learn how to move beyond traditional credentials by leveraging multiple signals—such as device posture, behavioral biometrics, and location context—to dynamically assess and enforce trust levels before granting access.

This skill covers the architecture, design, and implementation of Just-In-Time (JIT) access provisioning. The goal is to eliminate standing privileges by granting temporary, time-bound access only when specific business needs arise. It guides users through designing robust approval workflows, integrating JIT with PAM and IGA platforms, and enforcing zero standing privilege (ZSP) principles to drastically reduce the attack surface and ensure compliance.

This guide provides a comprehensive deep dive into implementing advanced network segmentation and zero-trust security controls within Kubernetes clusters using Calico. It covers standard Kubernetes NetworkPolicy, utilizing Calico's GlobalNetworkPolicy, and defining security Tiers, ensuring fine-grained, least-privilege communication between pods, and establishing robust security architectures for compliance.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to implementing advanced memory protection mechanisms on Windows endpoints. It covers critical techniques like Data Execution Prevention (DEP), Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), and Control Flow Guard (CFG). Use this when hardening systems against various memory corruption exploits, such as buffer overflows and ROP chains, to significantly boost overall security posture.

This skill guides the implementation and maintenance of compliance controls for North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards. It covers key areas including asset categorization (CIP-002), electronic security perimeters (CIP-005), system security management (CIP-007), and supply chain risk management. Use this when auditing, updating, or establishing compliance measures for Bulk Electric System (BES) cyber assets.

This guide details the implementation of robust network access control (NAC) using 802.1X, RADIUS authentication, and platforms like PacketFence. It enables identity-based access enforcement, performs endpoint posture assessment, and dynamically assigns users to appropriate VLANs. Ideal for achieving zero-trust architecture and meeting stringent compliance standards (e.g., PCI-DSS).

A comprehensive guide for deploying and managing network deception systems using industry-leading honeypot platforms like OpenCanary, T-Pot, and Cowrie. This skill helps security professionals detect unauthorized access attempts, trace lateral movement, and gather critical threat intelligence by simulating vulnerable services within a controlled environment. Ideal for enhancing network security architecture and creating early warning indicators for intrusions.

A comprehensive playbook designed for Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) environments. It provides structured, phased incident response procedures aligned with SANS PICERL, IEC 62443, and NIST standards. It specifically addresses safety-critical challenges, process availability, and the unique coordination required between IT Security, OT Engineering, and Plant Operations during cyber incidents, such as ransomware attacks.

This skill details the deployment of Privileged Access Management (PAM) for critical database systems, including Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. It covers essential security controls such as session proxy configuration, credential vaulting, query auditing, and enforcing least-privilege access, helping organizations meet stringent compliance and security standards.

Pod Security Admission (PSA) is a built-in Kubernetes admission controller designed to enforce Pod Security Standards (Baseline, Restricted, Privileged) at the namespace level. It serves as a crucial replacement for the deprecated PodSecurityPolicy (PSP), allowing users to implement robust security controls and maintain compliance. By applying specific labels, administrators can set enforcement modes (enforce, audit, warn) to harden container environments against unauthorized privilege escalation and security risks.

This guide details the comprehensive implementation of privileged session monitoring and recording using Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions, such as CyberArk PSM. It covers essential steps including architectural routing, configuring keystroke logging, real-time risk analysis, and establishing secure, tamper-proof audit trails for critical administrative access (RDP, SSH, Databases). Essential for meeting strict compliance standards like SOX, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.

A comprehensive guide to deploying and configuring Proofpoint Email Protection as a Secure Email Gateway (SEG). This solution establishes a critical security checkpoint that uses advanced ML, sandboxing, and threat intelligence to detect and block sophisticated threats, including phishing, malware, BEC, and spam, before they reach the user inbox. Ideal for organizations strengthening their email security architecture and meeting compliance standards.
