What it does

Detecting Insider Data Exfiltration Via Dlp is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Detects insider data exfiltration by analyzing DLP policy violations, file access patterns, upload volume anomalies, and off-hours activity in endpoint and cloud logs. Uses pandas for behavioral analytics and statistical baselines. Use when investigating insider threats or building user behavior analytics for data loss prevention.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md` and `scripts/agent.py`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering DataFrames. It works with pandas. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Investigating insider threats
  • Building user behavior analytics for data loss prevention

Example prompts

  • “Use the detecting-insider-data-exfiltration-via-dlp skill to detect insider data exfiltration by analyzing DLP policy violations, file access…”
  • “/detecting-insider-data-exfiltration-via-dlp”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Upload volume exceeding 3x daily baseline
  2. Access to files outside normal scope
  3. Bulk downloads before resignation
  4. Off-hours file access patterns
  5. USB/external device usage spikes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Detecting Insider Data Exfiltration Via Dlp loads about 623 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 137 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~623
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Detecting Insider Data Exfiltration via DLP

When to Use

  • When investigating security incidents that require detecting insider data exfiltration via dlp
  • When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
  • When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
  • When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with security operations 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

Analyze endpoint activity logs, cloud storage access, and email DLP events to detect data exfiltration patterns using behavioral baselines and statistical anomaly detection.

python
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("file_activity.csv", parse_dates=["timestamp"])
# Baseline: average daily upload volume per user
baseline = df.groupby(["user", df["timestamp"].dt.date])["bytes_transferred"].sum()
user_avg = baseline.groupby("user").mean()

# Alert on users exceeding 3x their baseline
today = df[df["timestamp"].dt.date == pd.Timestamp.today().date()]
today_totals = today.groupby("user")["bytes_transferred"].sum()
anomalies = today_totals[today_totals > user_avg * 3]

Key indicators:

  1. Upload volume exceeding 3x daily baseline
  2. Access to files outside normal scope
  3. Bulk downloads before resignation
  4. Off-hours file access patterns
  5. USB/external device usage spikes

Examples

python
# Detect off-hours activity
df["hour"] = df["timestamp"].dt.hour
off_hours = df[(df["hour"] < 6) | (df["hour"] > 22)]
suspicious = off_hours.groupby("user").size().sort_values(ascending=False)
