Episode 22 — Network Architectures: Virtual Networks, Peering and Segmentation
Networking is at the heart of cloud security, and understanding its architecture is essential for success. This episode walks through how cloud platforms implement virtual networks, how peering connects environments, and how segmentation helps reduce attack surfaces. By comparing traditional on-premises networking to virtualized cloud models, you’ll see how familiar concepts such as firewalls, routing, and access control lists translate into the cloud.
We also explore common pitfalls such as overly permissive peering or flat network designs that create unnecessary risk. Exam questions often challenge you to recognize where segmentation has been applied effectively—or where it has failed. Mastering these fundamentals ensures that you can design and evaluate network architectures that align with security best practices while supporting scalability and performance.
