Episode 100 — Encryption Basics: symmetric vs asymmetric and scenario expectations
Encryption appears throughout CloudNetX scenarios as a foundational mechanism for protecting confidentiality and integrity, and this episode clarifies the practical di...
Episode 101 — TLS Inspection: what it reveals, what it breaks, performance impact
TLS inspection appears in CloudNetX scenarios as a deliberate tradeoff between visibility and privacy, and the exam expects you to understand both the security value a...
Episode 102 — Secure Web Gateway vs Application Gateway: choosing the right control point
CloudNetX scenarios often include “gateway” terminology that can be misleading unless you focus on traffic direction and enforcement intent, and this episode clarifies...
Episode 103 — NAC Concepts: posture assessment, enforcement points, dynamic lists
Network access control appears in CloudNetX because it is a practical way to decide who and what can connect, and to adapt that decision based on device trustworthines...
Episode 104 — Firewall Rule Design: src/dst, allowlists/blocklists, app-aware logic
Firewall rule design is a recurring CloudNetX skill because scenarios often hinge on whether you can translate an intended flow into enforceable policy without creatin...
Episode 105 — Decryption Rules: when inspection is required and common pitfalls
Decryption rules are a focused CloudNetX topic because they determine where encrypted traffic becomes visible for security controls and where it remains private, which...
Episode 106 — NACL vs NSG: stateless/stateful thinking and inbound/outbound logic
CloudNetX scenarios often include cloud filtering controls that sound similar but behave differently, and the exam expects you to reason about state, direction, and en...
Episode 107 — IDS/IPS Signatures: what to automate and what to constrain
Signature-driven detection and prevention are included in CloudNetX because they represent a practical security control that must be tuned and governed to avoid either...
Episode 108 — Geolocation Rules: when geo blocking helps and when it backfires
Geolocation-based rules appear in CloudNetX scenarios as a simple control that can reduce exposure, but the exam expects you to understand its limitations and operatio...
Episode 109 — URL and Content Filtering: categories, apps, file blocking tradeoffs
URL and content filtering is included in CloudNetX because it is a common control for reducing web-borne risk and limiting unsafe data movement, and scenarios often te...
Episode 110 — DLP Controls: preventing leakage without stopping business
DLP is a recurring CloudNetX control because it addresses one of the hardest security problems: preventing sensitive data from leaving through legitimate channels with...
Episode 111 — Port Security: limiting lateral movement at the edge
Port security appears in CloudNetX objectives because edge access is where unauthorized devices most often enter, and controlling that entry reduces lateral movement r...
Episode 112 — Zero Trust Fundamentals: identity as perimeter and continuous verification
Zero Trust appears in CloudNetX objectives because modern networks cannot rely on location-based trust, and scenario questions often test whether you can design access...
Episode 113 — Microsegmentation: limiting east/west movement without chaos
Microsegmentation is included in CloudNetX because internal lateral movement is one of the fastest ways attacks spread, and scenarios often test whether you can limit ...
Episode 114 — ZTNA: replacing broad trust with precise access decisions
ZTNA appears in CloudNetX because it represents a practical application of Zero Trust that changes how remote access is granted, moving from broad network connectivity...
Episode 115 — SASE and SSE: tying controls to users, devices, and apps
SASE and SSE appear in CloudNetX because hybrid work and cloud adoption reduce the effectiveness of perimeter-centric designs, and scenarios often require choosing arc...
Episode 116 — CASB: visibility and control for cloud usage and data flows
CASB appears in CloudNetX objectives because cloud adoption shifts data movement into SaaS and managed platforms where traditional perimeter controls may have limited ...
Episode 117 — Federation and SSO: SAML vs OAuth 2.0 vs OIDC, clearly explained
Federation and SSO appear in CloudNetX scenarios because modern hybrid environments rely on shared identity across many services, and correct protocol selection affect...
Episode 118 — MFA and Passwordless: what each solves and when it’s required
MFA and passwordless authentication appear in CloudNetX scenarios because credential compromise is common, and stronger authentication changes the outcome of many acce...
Episode 119 — Conditional Access and Geofencing: policy decisions that reduce credential risk
Conditional access appears in CloudNetX because it enables identity decisions based on context rather than static rules, reducing the effectiveness of stolen credentia...
