Lab — Policy
Pack PEP/PDP diagram, continuous auth, trust scoring — policy pillar file from $ZT_LAB.
Visual · t40_policy_lab
Lab: policy engine pack. $ZT_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Policy pack is the glue — merge all pillar signal inputs into one PDP decision flow for LAB-ZT-001 capstone.
Merge M8 lessons into policy-engine-pack.md with master diagram: all pillar signals → PDP → PEP → app/data. Cross-link M2 NIST, M3 identity, M4 device, M5 microseg, M6 ZTNA, M7 data. No policy bypass exploits or production API tampering. Next: Quiz — Policy Engine.
1. Lab contract: policy engine pack
policy-engine-pack.md: PEP/PDP diagram + continuous auth + trust score + master signal flow.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, curl. Reference sites: NIST SP 800-207 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-207/final); CISA ZTMM (https://www.cisa.gov/zero-trust-maturity-model). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Cross-check
Verify every prior pillar pack linked once in signal diagram.
Remove bypass, token theft, API key literals.
3. Lock
chmod 600. Quiz next — ZT Roadmap.
Policy pack feeds roadmap maturity assessment M9.
4. What you ship: policy engine pack
Master PDP signal flow linking all pillars. $ZT_LAB. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Policy pack path. $ZT_LAB named. File t40-m08-l04-policy-lab.txt chmod 600.
6. Wrong vs right: bypass cookbooks vs YOUR ZT design
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Omit device signals from master diagram. Include JWT forgery lab steps.
Right
Write policy engine pack with full signal flow. Next: Quiz — Policy Engine.
Mission: policy engine pack
1) Merge M8 sections. 2) Master diagram with all pillar links. 3) NIST citation footer. 4) chmod 600.
