This guide details the deployment of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for comprehensive Network Access Control (NAC). It utilizes 802.1X authentication, MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB), and posture assessment to enforce security policies. Key features include integrating with Active Directory, assigning dynamic VLANs, and applying TrustSec Security Group Tags (SGTs) for advanced network segmentation in enterprise environments.

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.

This guide details the deployment and configuration of Suricata as a high-performance, inline Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). It covers setting up NFQueue mode, writing custom detection rules, managing commercial and community rulesets (like Emerging Threats), and optimizing performance for active, real-time blocking of malicious network traffic. Essential for robust security architecture and compliance.

This tool analyzes historical network traffic baselines to design secure and functional segmentation architectures for Operational Technology (OT) environments. It helps map flat Purdue-model networks into secure zones (VLANs) and automatically generates required firewall rules based on observed legitimate communication paths, adhering to standards like IEC 62443. Ideal for IT/OT convergence and risk mitigation.

This skill guides the end-to-end deployment and configuration of Palo Alto Networks NGFWs. It covers advanced security features such as App-ID for application-aware policies, User-ID for identity-based enforcement, zone-based architecture, and Content-ID for deep threat inspection. Ideal for migrating legacy port-based firewalls to modern, identity-aware network security architectures.

This guide details the deployment and usage of OPA Gatekeeper, a powerful Kubernetes admission controller. Gatekeeper enforces custom policies written in Rego using ConstraintTemplates and Constraints. It validates, mutates, or denies resource requests at admission time, ensuring that non-compliant workloads are blocked before scheduling. Ideal for organizations requiring robust, code-based policy enforcement to meet strict security and compliance standards.

This guide details the implementation of advanced, phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication using Microsoft Entra ID. It covers configuring FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business, and passkey support via Microsoft Authenticator. Use this skill to eliminate reliance on passwords, mitigate credential stuffing attacks, and satisfy strict regulatory mandates for modern identity access management.

Implement robust, phishing-resistant authentication using FIDO2/WebAuthn standards. This guide covers integrating WebAuthn APIs, configuring FIDO2 servers, managing passkey enrollment, and migrating systems away from traditional passwords. Essential for meeting high-assurance security standards like NIST SP 800-63B AAL3.

Provides a structured, risk-based framework for managing patches in Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). It addresses the critical difference between IT and OT environments, prioritizing safety and availability over immediate remediation. The guide covers risk scoring, vendor compatibility testing, staged deployment, and defining compensating controls for unpatchable assets.

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 skill details how to configure and manage the Kubernetes Pod Security Admission (PSA) controller. PSA enforces Pod Security Standards (Privileged, Baseline, Restricted) at the namespace level, replacing the deprecated PodSecurityPolicy. It guides users on setting cluster-wide defaults, applying standards via labels, and utilizing 'enforce', 'audit', or 'warn' modes for robust cluster security and debugging.

This guide details implementing Policy-as-Code using Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Gatekeeper. It covers writing complex Rego policies, deploying OPA Gatekeeper as a Kubernetes admission controller, and integrating policy testing into CI/CD pipelines to enforce security standards across clusters. Ideal for DevSecOps practitioners requiring robust governance.
