Security Benchmark Runner

What it does

The security-benchmark-runner skill allows you to execute security benchmarks against a target system. It automates the process of running predefined security tests and reporting on vulnerabilities found, providing actionable insights for improving your security posture. This includes tasks like identifying missing patches or misconfigurations.

When to use it

• Vulnerability Assessment: Regularly check servers or applications for known security weaknesses.
• Compliance Audits: Automate portions of compliance checks by running relevant benchmarks (e.g., CIS, STIG).
• Post-Deployment Verification: Ensure that new systems are deployed with secure configurations.
• Incident Response: Quickly assess the scope and impact of a potential security incident.

Key capabilities

• Automated benchmark execution
• Reporting on vulnerabilities identified
• Support for multiple benchmark standards (CIS, STIG)
• Target system configuration assessment

Example prompts

• "Run the CIS benchmark against 192.168.1.10."
• "Execute the STIG benchmark and report any critical findings."
• "Assess my server's security posture using a default security profile."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires appropriate credentials to access and assess the target system. Ensure you have sufficient permissions before running benchmarks, as some tests may require administrative privileges.
