Implementing Privileged Access Workstation

Overview

A Privileged Access Workstation (PAW) is a hardened device dedicated to performing sensitive administrative tasks. This skill covers PAW design using the tiered administration model, device compliance enforcement via Microsoft Intune or Group Policy, just-in-time (JIT) access provisioning, and integration with privileged access management (PAM) platforms like CyberArk and BeyondTrust.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing privileged access workstation 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

  • Windows 10/11 Enterprise with Virtualization Based Security (VBS)
  • Microsoft Intune or Active Directory Group Policy
  • CyberArk Privileged Access Security or BeyondTrust Password Safe (optional)
  • Python 3.9+ with requests, subprocess, json
  • Administrative access to target endpoints

Steps

  1. Audit current privileged access patterns and identify Tier 0/1/2 assets
  2. Configure device hardening baselines (AppLocker, Credential Guard, Device Guard)
  3. Enforce compliance policies via Intune or GPO
  4. Implement just-in-time access with time-limited admin group membership
  5. Integrate with CyberArk/BeyondTrust for credential vaulting
  6. Validate PAW configuration against CIS and Microsoft PAW guidance
  7. Monitor privileged sessions and generate compliance reports

Expected Output

  • JSON report listing device compliance status, hardening checks, JIT access windows, and PAM integration verification
  • Risk scoring per workstation with remediation recommendations

mapping-mitre-attack-techniques

Maps observed adversary behaviors, security alerts, and detection rules to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and sub-techniques to quantify detection coverage and guide control prioritization. Use when building an ATT&CK-based coverage heatmap, tagging SIEM alerts with technique IDs, aligning security controls to adversary playbooks, or reporting threat exposure to executives. Activates for requests involving ATT&CK Navigator, Sigma rules, MITRE D3FEND, or coverage gap analysis.
