Network Security Labs
Develop practical network security skills across the full perimeter and east-west security stack — from perimeter firewall rule analysis and VLAN segmentation audits, to VPN gateway hardening, Zero Trust Network Access migration, wireless WIDS triage, and BGP route hijack investigation. Each engagement simulates a real proactive network security exercise anchored in real-world telemetry and vendors (Cisco, Palo Alto, Aruba, RIPE RIS, RouteViews).
Overview
Assess network architecture, segmentation, and perimeter defenses, inspecting firewalls, routers, and devices in a simulated enterprise network.
Why This Lab Matters
Network security is the foundation every other control sits on. Misconfigured firewalls and flat networks are still among the most common ways attackers gain a foothold.
What You'll Gain
- Learn to read firewall rules and spot risky open ports
- Understand how segmentation limits attacker movement
- Practice assessing devices across a realistic network topology
- Build the network fundamentals every security role expects
