Episode 80 — Verification and Validation: proving the design meets requirements
CloudNetX includes verification and validation because successful network design requires proof that the solution matches its specification and actually satisfies the ...
Episode 81 — Runbooks: turning architecture into repeatable operations
Runbooks appear in CloudNetX because architecture is incomplete until it can be operated consistently, and runbooks are how teams translate design into predictable act...
Episode 82 — WBS and KB Articles: project structure and maintainable knowledge
CloudNetX includes project and knowledge artifacts because networks are delivered and operated by teams, and those teams need structured plans and durable documentatio...
Episode 83 — Baselines: what to measure, when, and why it matters
Baselines appear in CloudNetX because you cannot identify anomalies or prove improvement without knowing what normal looks like, and many scenario questions depend on ...
Episode 84 — Reference Architectures: internal vs external and how to use them
Reference architectures appear in CloudNetX documentation objectives because they provide proven patterns that speed design while reducing inconsistency and repeated m...
Episode 85 — CMDB Thinking: asset truth, ownership, and operational decision support
CMDB thinking appears in CloudNetX objectives because reliable operations depend on knowing what assets exist, who owns them, and how they connect to critical services...
Episode 86 — Threat Modeling for Hybrid Networks: how the exam frames risk
Threat modeling is included in CloudNetX because scenario questions often depend on identifying likely attack paths and placing controls where they reduce risk most ef...
Episode 87 — DDoS and SYN Floods: recognition patterns and mitigations
Denial-of-service scenarios in CloudNetX test whether you can recognize availability attacks and choose layered mitigations that match the attack type and environment ...
Episode 88 — Data Exfiltration: paths, choke points, and practical controls
Data exfiltration is a recurring CloudNetX scenario because it highlights that attackers often use allowed pathways to move data out, making egress control and visibil...
Episode 89 — On-Path Attacks: what gets exposed and how to reduce it
On-path attacks appear in CloudNetX scenarios as threats to confidentiality and integrity when attackers can observe, intercept, or manipulate traffic between endpoint...
Episode 90 — Out-of-Band Attacks: when “separate channel” becomes the threat
Out-of-band mechanisms are often introduced to increase reliability or strengthen authentication, but CloudNetX scenarios highlight that these separate channels can be...
Episode 91 — Credential Attacks: reuse, brute force, and layered defenses
Credential-based attacks are a core CloudNetX security theme because they exploit the most common weakness in real environments: reused passwords, weak authentication ...
Episode 92 — Social Engineering: why network controls still matter afterward
Social engineering appears in CloudNetX scenarios because it bypasses technical controls by manipulating people, and effective network design assumes that some users w...
Episode 93 — Evil Twin and Rogue APs: detection mindset and prevention controls
Wireless impersonation and unauthorized access points appear in CloudNetX because they exploit user trust and create direct entry paths into networks, especially in pu...
Episode 94 — BGP Hijacking: what it is and what mitigations look like
BGP hijacking is included in CloudNetX because it represents a high-impact routing threat where traffic can be misdirected or intercepted due to false route announceme...
Episode 95 — Vulnerability Patterns: misconfig, legacy ACLs, insecure protocols, patch gaps
CloudNetX scenarios frequently test vulnerability recognition through patterns rather than through product-specific vulnerabilities, and this episode builds a practica...
Episode 96 — Mitigation Toolkit: DLP, IPAM, CIS benchmarks, config reviews, null routing
CloudNetX scenarios often present a risk and ask for the most appropriate mitigation, so this episode clarifies how several commonly referenced controls function and w...
Episode 97 — Framework Fluency: MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, CCM in exam language
Framework references appear in CloudNetX scenarios to test whether you can apply structured thinking about threats and controls, not whether you can recite taxonomy na...
Episode 98 — Firewall Types: NGFW vs cloud-native firewall vs WAF
Firewall selection is a common CloudNetX decision point because different firewall types operate at different layers and solve different problems, and scenarios test w...
Episode 99 — IDS vs IPS: detection versus prevention and tuning tradeoffs
IDS and IPS decisions appear in CloudNetX scenarios because teams must balance visibility, prevention, and operational stability, and the exam expects you to recognize...
