What it does

Implementing Privileged Access Management With Cyberark is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Deploy CyberArk Privileged Access Management to discover, vault, rotate, and monitor privileged credentials across enterprise infrastructure, covering vault architecture, session isolation, credential rotation policies, and integration with NIST 800-53 access control requirements. Use when standing up CyberArk PAM, vaulting privileged credentials, or designing credential rotation policies.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/api-reference.md` and `references/standards.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authorization and RBAC. 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

  • Standing up CyberArk PAM
  • Vaulting privileged credentials
  • Designing credential rotation policies

Example prompts

  • “/implementing-privileged-access-management-with-cyberark”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Vault Architecture Design
  2. Safe and Policy Configuration
  3. Platform Configuration
  4. Privileged Session Management
  5. Integration and Monitoring

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 2 files 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

Implementing Privileged Access Management With Cyberark loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 728 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.1k

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.

Implementing Privileged Access Management with CyberArk

Overview

Deploy CyberArk Privileged Access Management to discover, vault, rotate, and monitor privileged credentials across enterprise infrastructure. This skill covers vault architecture, session isolation, credential rotation policies, and integration with NIST 800-53 access control requirements.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing privileged access management with cyberark 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 identity access management 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

Objectives

  • Design CyberArk vault architecture with high availability
  • Implement automated privileged credential discovery and onboarding
  • Configure credential rotation policies for different account types
  • Deploy Privileged Session Manager (PSM) for session isolation and recording
  • Integrate CyberArk with SIEM for privileged access monitoring
  • Implement just-in-time (JIT) privileged access workflows

Key Concepts

CyberArk Architecture Components
  1. Digital Vault: Encrypted credential storage with FIPS 140-2 validated encryption
  2. Central Policy Manager (CPM): Automated password rotation and verification
  3. Privileged Session Manager (PSM): Session isolation, recording, and keystroke logging
  4. Password Vault Web Access (PVWA): Web interface for credential management
  5. Privileged Threat Analytics (PTA): Behavioral analytics for privileged accounts
  6. Conjur Secrets Manager: Application identity and secrets management
Vault Security Model
  • Master Policy: Global security settings (dual control, exclusive access, one-time passwords)
  • Safes: Logical containers for credentials with granular permissions
  • Platforms: Configuration profiles defining rotation, verification, and reconciliation
  • Account Groups: Link accounts sharing rotation dependencies
Credential Lifecycle
  1. Discovery: Scan infrastructure for privileged accounts
  2. Onboarding: Import accounts into vault with platform assignment
  3. Rotation: Automated password changes per policy schedule
  4. Verification: Periodic validation that vaulted credentials work
  5. Reconciliation: Re-sync credentials when vault and target are out of sync
  6. Decommissioning: Remove accounts no longer needed

Workflow

Step 1: Vault Architecture Design
  1. Deploy primary vault server in secured network segment
  2. Configure vault high availability with DR vault
  3. Harden vault server OS (remove unnecessary services, disable RDP)
  4. Configure firewall rules (only port 1858 from authorized components)
  5. Set up vault backup with encryption
Step 2: Safe and Policy Configuration
  1. Create safe hierarchy aligned with business units
  2. Define safe members with least-privilege roles:
    • Safe Admins: manage safe membership
    • Credential Managers: add/modify accounts
    • Auditors: view audit logs only
    • Users: retrieve/use credentials
  3. Configure Master Policy settings:
    • Require dual control for credential retrieval
    • Enable exclusive access (one user per credential at a time)
    • Set one-time password mode for sensitive accounts
Show full SKILL.md (294 more words)Show less
Step 3: Platform Configuration
  • Windows Domain Admin: Rotate every 24 hours, verify every 4 hours
  • Linux Root: Rotate every 72 hours with SSH key rotation
  • Database Admin (Oracle, SQL Server): Rotate every 24 hours
  • Network Devices: Rotate every 7 days
  • Service Accounts: Rotate on schedule with dependency management
  • Cloud IAM Keys: Rotate every 90 days with dual-key strategy
Step 4: Privileged Session Management
  1. Deploy PSM servers behind load balancer
  2. Configure session recording (video, keystroke, command logs)
  3. Set up session isolation (users connect through PSM, never directly)
  4. Define connection components for RDP, SSH, databases, web apps
  5. Configure live session monitoring and termination capabilities
  6. Set session recording retention (minimum 1 year for compliance)
Step 5: Integration and Monitoring
  1. Forward CyberArk audit logs to SIEM (CEF/Syslog format)
  2. Configure PTA for behavioral analytics:
    • Detect credential theft indicators
    • Alert on suspicious privileged session activity
    • Monitor unmanaged privileged account usage
  3. Integrate with ticketing system for access request workflows
  4. Set up alerts for failed rotation, verification failures, policy violations

Privileged AccessAC-6(7)Privileged account controls
Credential ManagementIA-5Automated credential rotation
Session RecordingAU-14Session audit capability
Access EnforcementAC-3Vault-enforced access policies
Separation of DutiesAC-5Dual control for sensitive operations

Common Pitfalls

  • Not configuring reconciliation accounts leading to lockouts after rotation
  • Setting rotation schedules too aggressive for service accounts with dependencies
  • Failing to test PSM connection components before production deployment
  • Not establishing break-glass procedures for vault unavailability
  • Overlooking network device credential management

Verification

  • Vault accessible only from authorized components
  • Credential rotation succeeds for all onboarded accounts
  • PSM sessions recorded and searchable
  • Dual control enforced for sensitive credential checkout
  • SIEM receives CyberArk audit events
  • Break-glass procedure tested and documented
  • DR vault failover tested successfully
