Strategy Guide

  • 🏗️

    Architecture First

    Understand Zero Trust and segmentation before diving into tools. The network layout dictates the defense.

  • 💻

    Endpoint is the Battlefield

    Windows (Ring 0 vs 3) is the primary target. Master LAPS, AppLocker, and Defender configurations.

  • 🧠

    The Modern SOC

    Move beyond prevention to detection. Know your acronyms: SIEM, SOAR, EDR, XDR.

Core Modules

Review the foundational theories comprising the exam. Select a module below to explore its key concepts, definitions, and integration points.

Defensive Architecture & Network Controls

1. Network Segmentation

  • Physical: Air-gapped hardware. High security, high cost.
  • Logical (VLANs): Uses 802.1Q tags to separate traffic on switches.
  • Virtualization: Software-Defined Networking (SDN).
  • Goal: Move away from "Flat Networks" to Zero Trust.

2. Firewall Evolution

  • Packet Filtering (L3/L4): Inspects IP & Port. Blind to payloads.
  • Stateful Inspection: Tracks connection state (context aware).
  • ALF/WAF (Layer 7): Application/Web App Firewall. Inspects content (HTTP headers, JSON) to stop SQLi, XSS.

3. The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)

A buffer zone for public-facing services (Web, Mail, DNS).

⚠️ Critical Rule: DMZ hosts should NEVER initiate connections to the internal LAN.
