Each rewritten description now states both what the skill does (concrete capability, named tools/artifacts) and an explicit when-to-use trigger, improving agent discovery/activation. Grounded in each skill's own body; changes confined to the `description` field only (bodies and all other frontmatter untouched). Produced by a gated audit->rewrite->recheck loop (548 -> 0 flagged) with a sampled anti-invention check (0 ungrounded). Schema: 817/817 pass. Framework-ID gate: 0 defects.

# Implementing Privileged Access Workstation
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
A Privileged Access Workstation (PAW) is a hardened device dedicated to performing sensitive administrative tasks. This skill covers PAW design using the tiered administration model, device compliance enforcement via Microsoft Intune or Group Policy, just-in-time (JIT) access provisioning, and integration with privileged access management (PAM) platforms like CyberArk and BeyondTrust.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- When deploying or configuring implementing privileged access workstation capabilities in your environment
|
|
- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
|
|
- When building or improving security architecture for this domain
|
|
- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Windows 10/11 Enterprise with Virtualization Based Security (VBS)
|
|
- Microsoft Intune or Active Directory Group Policy
|
|
- CyberArk Privileged Access Security or BeyondTrust Password Safe (optional)
|
|
- Python 3.9+ with `requests`, `subprocess`, `json`
|
|
- Administrative access to target endpoints
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Audit current privileged access patterns and identify Tier 0/1/2 assets
|
|
2. Configure device hardening baselines (AppLocker, Credential Guard, Device Guard)
|
|
3. Enforce compliance policies via Intune or GPO
|
|
4. Implement just-in-time access with time-limited admin group membership
|
|
5. Integrate with CyberArk/BeyondTrust for credential vaulting
|
|
6. Validate PAW configuration against CIS and Microsoft PAW guidance
|
|
7. Monitor privileged sessions and generate compliance reports
|
|
|
|
## Expected Output
|
|
|
|
- JSON report listing device compliance status, hardening checks, JIT access windows, and PAM integration verification
|
|
- Risk scoring per workstation with remediation recommendations
