Deploy and configure Tofino industrial firewalls from Belden/Hirschmann to protect SCADA systems and PLCs using deep packet inspection for OT protocols including Modbus, EtherNet/IP, OPC, and S7comm, enforcing granular access control between ICS security zones.

Deploys canary tokens and honeytokens (fake AWS credentials, DNS canaries, document beacons, database records) that trigger alerts when accessed by attackers. Uses the Canarytokens API and custom webhook integrations for breach detection. Use when building deception-based early warning systems for intrusion detection.

Deploys canary files, honeypot shares, and decoy systems to detect ransomware activity at the earliest possible stage. Configures canary tokens embedded in strategic file locations that trigger alerts when ransomware attempts encryption, uses honeypot network shares that mimic high-value targets, and deploys Thinkst Canary appliances for comprehensive deception-based detection. Activates for requests involving ransomware honeypots, canary files, deception technology for ransomware, or early ransomware alerting.

Implements HashiCorp Vault dynamic secrets engines for database credentials, AWS IAM keys, and PKI certificates with automatic generation, lease management, and credential rotation to eliminate static secrets in application configurations. Activates for requests involving Vault secrets engine configuration, dynamic database credentials, ephemeral cloud credentials, or automated secret rotation.

Implements FIDO2/WebAuthn hardware security key authentication including registration ceremonies, authentication flows, YubiKey enrollment, and passkey migration strategies. Builds a complete relying party server using the python-fido2 library that supports cross-platform authenticators, resident key (discoverable credential) workflows, and user verification policies. Activates for requests involving FIDO2 implementation, WebAuthn registration, hardware security key enrollment, YubiKey integration, or passkey migration from password-based authentication.

Configure SAML 2.0 single sign-on for Google Workspace with a third-party identity provider, enabling centralized authentication and enforcing organization-wide access policies.

Configure Google Workspace advanced phishing and malware protection settings including pre-delivery scanning, attachment protection, spoofing detection, and Enhanced Safe Browsing.

Implements comprehensive Google Workspace security hardening including admin console configuration, phishing-resistant MFA enforcement, DLP policies, email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), OAuth app control, and external sharing restrictions. Activates for requests involving Google Workspace hardening, G Suite security configuration, or cloud office security administration.

Configure GitHub Advanced Security with CodeQL to perform automated static analysis and vulnerability detection across repositories at enterprise scale.

Automates GDPR Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) workflows including identity verification, PII discovery across databases and files using regex and NER, data mapping, response templating per Article 15 requirements, deadline tracking, and audit logging. Covers ICO/EDPB guidance compliance, exemption handling, and scalable batch processing. Use when building or auditing DSAR response capabilities under GDPR/UK GDPR.

Implement GCP Organization Policy constraints to enforce security guardrails across the entire resource hierarchy, restricting risky configurations and ensuring compliance at organization, folder, and project levels.

Implement GCP Binary Authorization to enforce deploy-time security controls that ensure only trusted, attested container images are deployed to Google Kubernetes Engine and Cloud Run.

Integrate AFL++ coverage-guided fuzz testing into CI/CD pipelines to discover memory corruption, input handling, and logic vulnerabilities in C/C++ and compiled applications.

Configure AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) for file integrity monitoring including baseline creation, scheduled integrity checks, change detection, and alerting

Integrate FIRST's Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) API to prioritize vulnerability remediation based on real-world exploitation probability within 30 days.

Envelope encryption is a strategy where data is encrypted with a data encryption key (DEK), and the DEK itself is encrypted with a master key (KEK) managed by AWS KMS. This approach allows encrypting

Implements endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls to detect and prevent sensitive data exfiltration through email, USB, cloud storage, and printing. Use when deploying DLP agents, creating content inspection policies, or preventing unauthorized data movement from endpoints. Activates for requests involving DLP, data exfiltration prevention, content inspection, or sensitive data protection on endpoints.

Deploy and configure Wazuh SIEM/XDR for endpoint detection including agent management, custom decoder and rule XML creation, alert querying via the Wazuh REST API, and automated response actions.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) ensures that only the communicating parties can read messages, with no intermediary (including the server) able to decrypt them. This skill implements a simplified version

Email sandboxing detonates suspicious attachments and URLs in isolated environments to detect zero-day malware and evasive phishing payloads. Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) is an industry

Implements eBPF-based security monitoring using Cilium Tetragon for real-time process execution tracking, network connection observability, file access auditing, and runtime enforcement. Covers TracingPolicy CRD authoring with kprobe/tracepoint hooks, in-kernel filtering via matchArgs/matchBinaries selectors, JSON event export, and integration with SIEM pipelines. Use when building kernel-level runtime security observability for Linux hosts or Kubernetes clusters.
