Episode 22: Network Architecture Design and Segmentation
Networks are the circulatory system of any digital environment, and securing them is a fundamental responsibility of the cyber analyst. This episode walks through various network architecture models—on-premises, cloud, and hybrid—and explores how segmentation, zero trust principles, and secure access edge technologies help reduce exposure and limit lateral movement.
We also discuss how software-defined networking (SDN) plays into modern security architecture and what analysts need to understand about routing, policy enforcement, and isolation. Whether you’re reviewing for a scenario-based question or working in a SOC, this episode gives you a blueprint for recognizing strong network design—and spotting when something isn’t right.
