Network security

So much room for properly segmented activities.

Segmentation, controlled egress, name resolution, and useful network telemetry.

THE STARTING POINT

Three things to get right.

  1. Map necessary flows between users, workloads, and data stores.
  2. Restrict tool egress to approved destinations where practical.
  3. Keep enough network context to explain an unexpected connection.

TRY THIS WITH YOUR CUSTOMER

A question worth testing.

Customer objective: connect segmentation to a useful customer scenario. Diagram a lab assistant’s model, retrieval, administration, and telemetry flows, then review each allowed connection and its owner.

Give the customer a useful takeaway.

Start with a customer question and a clear success criterion. Capture the baseline, observed behavior, and evidence, then explain what the result means and which question to investigate next.
