Module 23 · Mutual TLS and Service Identity at the Network Layer

What mTLS provides Each side of the connection presents a certificate. Both verify the other’s certificate against trust chain. Traffic encrypted with negotiated keys. Identity bound cryptographically to the endpoint. This eliminates network-position-based trust: “you’re inside the firewall, so I trust you” becomes “you have a valid certificate from our CA, so I trust you.” […]

Module 22 · IPv6 Security in Modern Networks

The IPv6 attack surface The single most common Indian enterprise issue: IPv6 enabled on endpoints / VMs by default, no explicit IPv6 security controls. Dual-stack hosts get IPv6 addresses, IPv4 firewalls don’t see the traffic, attack-paths become invisible. The recurring IPv6-specific issues Link-local addresses: every host has fe80::/10. No DHCP needed; auto-configuration via SLAAC. Attacker […]

Module 21 · DNS Security — DoH, DoT, DNSSEC, Sinkholing

The classic DNS problems Plaintext queries visible to network observers. Response forgery / cache poisoning. No cryptographic authenticity. DNS used for data exfiltration. DGA and fast-flux evading blocklists. DoH and DoT Protocol Port Defender visibility DoT 853/TCP Recognisable at the network layer DoH 443/TCP mixed with HTTPS Hidden in HTTPS; hard to distinguish DoQ 443/UDP […]

Network Forensics — Reading Captures Like a Detective

Network forensics is the art of reconstructing what happened from packets and flow logs after the fact. This module is the practitioner walk-through: chain of custody, the evidence stack (PCAP + Zeek + flow + endpoint), the workflow for a compromise investigation, the most useful

MPLS, SD-WAN, and the Indian Enterprise WAN

MPLS is the legacy carrier-grade WAN — expensive, predictable, low-jitter, with operator-managed L3 VPNs. SD-WAN overlays multiple cheaper transports (broadband, LTE, 5G, MPLS) with software-defined policy, dynamic path selection, and integrated security. The Indian enterprise WA

Zero Trust Network Access vs Traditional VPN — The Replacement Pattern That Is Now Default

Traditional VPN puts users on the corporate network — once authenticated, broad reachability. ZTNA does the opposite — explicit per-application authorisation, no network-level access, continuous verification. ZTNA is the modern remote-access pattern; VPN remains for site-to-site.

CDN and DDoS Defence — Cloudflare, Akamai, Anti-Bot in 2026

A CDN serves your content from edge nodes near users — fast, reliable, and incidentally an extraordinary DDoS shield. This module covers what a CDN actually does (caching, anycast, TLS termination), how DDoS attacks have evolved (volumetric, protocol, application, bot-driven), an

Network Telemetry — NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, and What a SOC Actually Watches

Network telemetry is the per-flow metadata your routers and switches export — who talked to whom, when, how much, on what ports. NetFlow (Cisco), sFlow (broadcom/multivendor), IPFIX (the IETF standard) are the three protocols you will meet. PCAP captures everything; telemetry cap
