Lab — Policy

Pack PEP/PDP diagram, continuous auth, trust scoring — policy pillar file from $ZT_LAB.

Lab — Policy
00:00/02:34

Visual · t40_policy_lab

Lab: policy engine pack. $ZT_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.

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.

LAB SAMPLE; cite NIST SP 800-207 in footer.

Command guide

Try these commands — Lab contract: policy engine pack

═══ LINUX / macOS (Terminal Practice) ═══

Check system state and user context

Command — copy this

id
whoami
uname -a

Inspect network sockets listening for connections

Command — copy this

ss -tuln 2>/dev/null || netstat -tuln

Audit active processes

Command — copy this

ps aux | grep -v "\[" | head -15

═══ WINDOWS (POWERSHELL) ═══ Query user identity and system information

Command — copy this

whoami /all
Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object CsName, OsName, OsVersion

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.
Hands-on Exercise

Mission: policy engine pack

1) Merge M8 sections. 2) Master diagram with all pillar links. 3) NIST citation footer. 4) chmod 600.
