This skill details the deployment of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for comprehensive network access control. It utilizes 802.1X, MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB), and posture assessment to centralize policy enforcement. ISE acts as a RADIUS policy server, providing dynamic VLAN assignment, downloadable ACLs, and robust authentication for both wired and wireless 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 skill provides a structured framework for implementing patch management in Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) environments. It addresses the critical balance between cybersecurity remediation and maintaining continuous operational safety and availability. Key components include risk-based patch prioritization, vendor compatibility testing, staged deployment through test environments, managing maintenance windows, and implementing compensating controls for unpatchable assets.

This guide details the systematic workflow for patch management, covering the entire lifecycle from vulnerability discovery and risk assessment to controlled testing, multi-phased deployment, and final verification. Learn how to integrate tools like WSUS, SCCM, and Ansible into a robust, automated process to significantly reduce the attack surface and ensure compliance across enterprise IT infrastructure.

Configure Azure AD Privileged Identity Management via Microsoft Graph API to enumerate eligible and active assignments, request just-in-time activations, audit logs, and enforce MFA or approval policies for zero-trust privileged access scenarios.

This guide details the implementation of a robust, ransomware-resilient backup architecture following the extended 3-2-1-1-0 rule. It covers critical steps such as classifying assets, defining RPO/RTO, implementing immutable or air-gapped storage, and isolating backup credentials from the production domain. Use this knowledge to design a multilayered defense against data loss and ensure reliable recovery points.

This guide details how to implement advanced SIEM correlation rules to detect sophisticated Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). By chaining multiple event types—including Windows authentication events, process execution telemetry, and network connection logs—across hosts, users can surface complex attack sequences that are invisible to single-event detections. It utilizes Splunk SPL and Sigma rule formats for robust security posture enhancement.

This skill outlines how to configure rsyslog for robust, centralized log collection. It covers establishing high-availability syslog infrastructure using TLS encryption, X.509 certificate authentication, and reliable disk-assisted queuing. Learn to generate and deploy both server and client configurations for secure, segregated, and reliable security operations logging.

This skill guides the deployment and configuration of a TAXII 2.1 server using OpenTAXII. It enables automated, standardized exchange of STIX-formatted cyber threat intelligence (CTI) indicators between organizations. Use cases include establishing secure threat sharing pipelines, integrating with SIEM/SOAR platforms, and meeting stringent compliance requirements.

This skill guides the implementation of a structured, six-phase threat intelligence lifecycle. It covers transforming raw data into actionable intelligence by mastering planning, collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, and feedback. Ideal for building mature Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) programs and aligning security architecture with compliance standards.

This skill guides Security Operations Center (SOC) teams through structured threat modeling using the MITRE ATT&CK framework. It enables mapping adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) against organizational assets to identify critical detection coverage gaps, prioritize defensive investments, and improve overall security posture. Ideal for risk assessment, purple teaming, and compliance planning.

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.
