How to use this skill
Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.
- Open your project in Codex.
- Copy and paste the prompt below.
- Review files and risks before approving any action.
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/CyberStrikeus/CyberStrike/blob/HEAD/.cyberstrike/skill/NIST/SP800-53_rev5/AT_awareness-and-training/AT-2(6)_cyber-threat-environment/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/at-2-6-cyber-threat-environment, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

AT-2(6) Cyber Threat Environment
Enhancement of: AT-2
High-Level Description
Family: Awareness and Training (AT) Framework: NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
Since threats continue to change over time, threat literacy training by the organization is dynamic. Moreover, threat literacy training is not performed in isolation from the system operations that support organizational mission and business functions.
What to Check
- Verify AT-2(6) Cyber Threat Environment is documented in SSP
- Validate all 2 control requirements are implemented
- Confirm control is operating effectively
- Review evidence of continuous monitoring for AT-2(6)
- Verify enhancement builds upon base control AT-2
How to Test
Step 1: Review Documentation
Examine the System Security Plan (SSP) and related artifacts for AT-2(6) implementation details. Verify the organization has documented how this control is satisfied.
Step 2: Validate Implementation
# For cloud environments, use cloud-audit-mcp tools
# For on-premises, review system configurations directly
# Example: Check if account management policies exist
grep -r "account.management\|access.control" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Test Operating Effectiveness
Verify the control is actively functioning, not just documented. Check logs, configurations, and operational evidence.
