This skill guides the setup of Host-Based Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) using industry-standard tools like Wazuh, OSSEC, or AIDE. It covers essential security practices, including File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) for critical directories, monitoring system calls, detecting configuration changes, and identifying rootkits. It is crucial for meeting regulatory compliance requirements (e.g., PCI DSS) and significantly enhancing overall endpoint security posture.

This guide details the robust process of implementing VLAN-based (802.1Q) network segmentation on managed switches. It is crucial for isolating critical zones—such as DMZ, servers, and IoT—to meet strict compliance standards (PCI-DSS, HIPAA) and significantly limiting the blast radius during a security incident by controlling lateral movement. Includes port hardening and ACL configuration.

This skill automates the hardening of Linux endpoints (Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS) by implementing industry-standard security best practices guided by CIS Benchmarks. It systematically secures various layers, including filesystem permissions, network parameters (sysctl), SSH configuration, user access controls (PAM), and integrates deep auditing using auditd and OpenSCAP. It is essential for achieving compliance with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

This skill guides the security hardening of Windows endpoints (10/11, Server 2019/2022) using established CIS Benchmarks. It provides a comprehensive workflow for establishing secure organizational baselines, configuring Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and enforcing security controls across critical areas like password policies, audit logs, and firewall rules. It is essential for achieving compliance with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to implementing application whitelisting using Windows AppLocker. It drastically restricts unauthorized software execution (malware, shadow IT) on Windows endpoints by enforcing strict application control policies. Use this method to meet critical compliance requirements (such as PCI DSS or NIST standards), block common attack vectors like LOLBins, and significantly reduce the overall attack surface in high-security environments.

This guide details how to implement AWS Config managed and custom rules to establish continuous compliance monitoring for AWS resources. It helps detect configuration drift against standards like CIS and PCI DSS, enabling automated remediation using services like SSM Automation. It is ideal for building centralized compliance dashboards and aggregating audit evidence across multiple AWS accounts via AWS Organizations.

This comprehensive guide details how to establish AWS Security Hub as a centralized Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) platform. It aggregates security findings from multiple AWS services (GuardDuty, Inspector, Macie) and third-party tools. Users can enforce compliance against industry standards (CIS, PCI-DSS, NIST), automate remediation workflows via EventBridge, and generate comprehensive evidence for compliance audits.

This comprehensive guide details how to deploy and configure AWS Security Hub across multi-account AWS Organizations. It aggregates security findings from various AWS services (GuardDuty, Inspector, Macie, etc.) to enforce continuous compliance against industry standards like CIS, PCI DSS, and NIST. Use this skill to build centralized compliance dashboards and automated remediation workflows for robust security posture management.

A comprehensive guide detailing how to implement Microsoft Defender for Cloud across various workloads (VMs, containers, SQL, storage) to achieve continuous security monitoring and compliance assessment. This process utilizes Azure Policy, Log Analytics, and Azure Arc for holistic protection, enabling adaptive remediation and meeting stringent regulatory requirements like PCI-DSS and CIS standards.

This comprehensive guide details the implementation of Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) using industry-leading tools such as Amazon Macie, Google Cloud DLP, and Azure Information Protection. It provides structured workflows for discovering, classifying, de-identifying, and protecting sensitive data (PII, PHI, financial data) across cloud storage, databases, and data pipelines. Essential for achieving compliance with global regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS) and integrating robust data governance into CI/CD processes.

A comprehensive guide to continuously monitoring multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) for security misconfigurations, compliance violations, and risk drift. This solution leverages industry tools like Prowler and ScoutSuite to enforce compliance standards (CIS, SOC 2, PCI DSS) across heterogeneous cloud infrastructures, providing deep visibility into security gaps and automating remediation workflows.

This skill covers the deployment and fine-tuning of Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules across major cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare. It addresses critical security needs such as mitigating OWASP vulnerabilities (SQLi, XSS), managing bot traffic, implementing rate limiting, and ensuring compliance (e.g., PCI-DSS). The workflow guides users through deploying managed rule sets, creating custom rate-based logic, and minimizing false positives.
