This guide details how to implement HashiCorp Vault's dynamic secrets engine. It automates the generation, lease management, and rotation of short-lived credentials for databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL), AWS IAM, and PKI certificates. This method eliminates the use of static, hardcoded secrets, enforcing zero-trust principles and meeting stringent compliance mandates like PCI-DSS.

A comprehensive guide detailing the implementation of 802.1X port-based Network Access Control (NAC) using RADIUS authentication and platforms like PacketFence. This solution enforces identity-based access, performs endpoint posture assessment, and dynamically assigns VLANs. It is essential for establishing zero-trust networks, meeting stringent compliance standards (PCI-DSS, HIPAA), and automating the onboarding of BYOD devices.

This skill covers the comprehensive design and implementation of network segmentation using layered security controls. It details how to establish isolated security zones (e.g., DMZ, PCI CDE, Management) using VLANs, firewall zones, and granular ACLs. The techniques advance from traditional Layer 2 VLAN separation to modern Layer 7 microsegmentation, enforcing zero-trust principles and meeting strict compliance standards like PCI DSS and HIPAA.

This skill guides organizations in implementing and managing security controls required by PCI DSS 4.0.1. It covers the 12 requirements across 6 control objectives for protecting cardholder data that is stored, processed, or transmitted. Use this when scoping a Cardholder Data Environment (CDE), enhancing security architecture, or preparing for mandatory PCI compliance assessments, including customized validation and MFA implementation.

This comprehensive guide details how to implement robust privileged session monitoring and recording using advanced PAM solutions like CyberArk PSM. It covers critical aspects including architecting network controls (routing all access through proxies), configuring keystroke logging and session recording for RDP/SSH, and establishing real-time monitoring rules. Essential for meeting strict compliance requirements (e.g., PCI-DSS, SOX, HIPAA) and generating non-repudiable audit trails.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to implementing robust USB device control policies. It restricts unauthorized removable media access to mitigate data exfiltration risks and prevent malware introduction via USB endpoints. Learn how to deploy granular policies using Group Policy Objects (GPO), Microsoft Intune, or advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms to meet strict compliance standards.

This tool performs comprehensive API inventory and discovery across an organization's environment. It identifies all API endpoints—including documented, undocumented, shadow, and deprecated APIs—by combining passive traffic analysis (HAR files), active scanning, DNS enumeration, and cloud resource auditing. It helps map the complete API attack surface, crucial for security assessments and compliance requirements like PCI-DSS and SOC2.

A specialized tool for performing comprehensive CIS Kubernetes Benchmark audits. It verifies the security configurations of control planes, worker nodes, and etcd against industry best practices. The output is designed to generate actionable compliance evidence for audits like SOC 2 or PCI DSS, helping users identify vulnerabilities, determine non-applicability on managed clusters (EKS, GKE, AKS), and plan remediation strategies.

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for auditing essential HTTP security headers, including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy. It helps identify missing or improperly configured browser-level protections, crucial for mitigating vulnerabilities like XSS, clickjacking, and mixed content issues, ensuring compliance with standards like PCI DSS and SOC 2.

A comprehensive skill for auditing service accounts across complex enterprise environments, including Active Directory, major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and databases. It identifies risks such as orphaned accounts, over-privileged access, and non-compliant credentials, ensuring adherence to industry standards like SOX, PCI DSS, and HIPAA. Used during security assessments and compliance reviews.

A comprehensive guide to hardening AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) configurations. This skill enforces least-privilege access by utilizing IAM Access Analyzer, setting permission boundaries, scoping policies, and managing credential rotation. It is crucial for reducing the blast radius of compromised accounts and passing compliance audits (e.g., SOC 2, PCI-DSS).

An expert advisor trained in PCI DSS standards (v4.0.1 current) and QSA methodology. This skill provides deep guidance on compliance requirements, including CDE scoping, SAQ selection, gap assessment roadmaps, network segmentation, data tokenization, and general best practices for protecting cardholder data. Essential for security, compliance, and engineering teams.
