Implementing Nerc Cip Compliance Controls
This skill covers implementing North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) compliance controls for Bulk Electric System (BES) cyber systems. It addresses asset categorization (CIP-002), electronic security perimeters (CIP-005), system security management (CIP-007), configuration management (CIP-010), supply chain risk management (CIP-013), and the 2025 updates including mandatory MFA for remote access and expanded low-impact asset requirements.
Implementing Mitre Attack Coverage Mapping
Implement MITRE ATT&CK coverage mapping to identify detection gaps, prioritize rule development, and measure SOC detection maturity against adversary techniques.
Implementing Mimecast Targeted Attack Protection
Deploy Mimecast Targeted Threat Protection including URL Protect, Attachment Protect, Impersonation Protect, and Internal Email Protect to defend against advanced phishing and spearphishing attacks.
Implementing Microsegmentation With Guardicore
Implementing microsegmentation using Akamai Guardicore Segmentation to map application dependencies, create granular network policies, visualize east-west traffic flows, and enforce least-privilege communication between workloads across data centers and cloud.
Implementing Memory Protection With Dep Aslr
Implements memory protection mechanisms including DEP (Data Execution Prevention), ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization), CFG (Control Flow Guard), and other exploit mitigations to prevent memory corruption attacks. Use when hardening endpoints against buffer overflow exploits, ROP chains, and code injection. Activates for requests involving memory protection, exploit mitigation, DEP, ASLR, or CFG configuration.
Implementing Log Integrity With Blockchain
Build an append-only log integrity chain using SHA-256 hash chaining for tamper detection. Each log entry is hashed with the previous entry's hash to create a blockchain-like structure where modifying any entry invalidates all subsequent hashes. Implements log ingestion, chain verification, tamper detection with pinpoint identification, and periodic checkpoint anchoring to external timestamping services.
Implementing LLM Guardrails For Security
Implements input and output validation guardrails for LLM-powered applications to prevent prompt injection, data leakage, toxic content generation, and hallucinated outputs. Builds a security validation pipeline using NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails Colang definitions, custom Python validators for PII detection and content policy enforcement, and the Guardrails AI framework for structured output validation. The guardrails system intercepts both user inputs (blocking injection attempts, stripping PII, enforcing topic boundaries) and model outputs (detecting hallucinations, filtering toxic content, validating JSON schema compliance). Activates for requests involving LLM output validation, AI content filtering, guardrail implementation, or LLM safety enforcement.
Implementing Kubernetes Pod Security Standards
Pod Security Standards (PSS) define three levels of security policies -- Privileged, Baseline, and Restricted -- enforced by the Pod Security Admission (PSA) controller built into Kubernetes 1.25+. PS
Implementing Kubernetes Network Policy With Calico
Implement Kubernetes network segmentation using Calico NetworkPolicy and GlobalNetworkPolicy for zero-trust pod-to-pod communication.
Implementing JWT Signing And Verification
JSON Web Tokens (JWT) defined in RFC 7519 are compact, URL-safe tokens used for authentication and authorization in web applications. This skill covers implementing secure JWT signing with HMAC-SHA256

Implementing Infrastructure As Code Security Scanning
This skill covers implementing automated security scanning for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates using tools like Checkov, tfsec, and KICS. It addresses detecting misconfigurations in Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, and Helm charts before deployment, establishing policy-based governance, and integrating IaC scanning into CI/CD pipelines to prevent insecure cloud resource provisioning.
