Apply secure design principles in network architectures

Overview

Know the OSI 7 layers and TCP/IP mapping cold, where each secure protocol operates (IPSec, SSH, TLS), and modern segmentation strategies up to micro-segmentation and zero trust.

Key topics to master

  • OSI and TCP/IP models
  • IPv4 / IPv6 (unicast, broadcast, multicast, anycast)
  • Secure protocols: IPSec, SSH, SSL/TLS
  • Multilayer & converged protocols (iSCSI, VoIP, CXL)
  • Segmentation: physical, logical (VLAN/VPN), micro-segmentation
  • Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, satellite); cellular 4G/5G
  • SDN / SD-WAN / NFV; CDN; VPC
