mukul975 efca3ec611 feat: add NIST CSF 2.0 nist_csf field to all 754 cybersecurity skills
Mapped every skill to NIST CSF 2.0 subcategory IDs (GV/ID/PR/DE/RS/RC functions)
based on subdomain and content analysis. Restores 11 skills corrupted during
prior rebase, re-enriching with ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF, and CSF 2.0 fields.

All 754 skills now carry structured mappings for all 5 security frameworks:
- MITRE ATT&CK (in tags)
- MITRE ATLAS v5.5 (atlas_techniques)
- MITRE D3FEND v1.3 (d3fend_techniques)
- NIST AI RMF 1.0 (nist_ai_rmf)
- NIST CSF 2.0 (nist_csf)

# Implementing Cloud Workload Protection
## When to Use
- When deploying or configuring implementing cloud workload protection 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
- Familiarity with cloud security concepts and tools
- Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
- Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
- Appropriate authorization for any testing activities
## Instructions
Monitor cloud workloads for runtime threats by checking process lists, network
connections, file integrity, and resource utilization anomalies.
```python
import boto3
ssm = boto3.client("ssm")
# Run command on EC2 instances to check for suspicious processes
response = ssm.send_command(
InstanceIds=["i-1234567890abcdef0"],
DocumentName="AWS-RunShellScript",
Parameters={"commands": ["ps aux | grep -E 'xmrig|minerd|cryptonight'"]},
)
```
Key protection areas:
1. Process monitoring for cryptominers and reverse shells
2. File integrity monitoring on critical system files
3. Network connection auditing for C2 callbacks
4. Resource utilization anomaly detection (CPU spikes)
5. Unauthorized binary detection via hash comparison
## Examples
```python
# Check for unauthorized outbound connections
ssm.send_command(
InstanceIds=instances,
DocumentName="AWS-RunShellScript",
Parameters={"commands": ["ss -tlnp | grep ESTABLISHED"]},
)
```
