Network Architecture Patterns
RCCE students will learn cloud network security fundamentals including virtual network design, subnet architecture, security groups, network ACLs, load balancer security, CDN protection, and hybrid connectivity security. RCCE students will learn to design secure cloud network architectures across AWS VPC, Azure VNet, and GCP VPC, implement micro-segmentation strategies, configure web application firewalls for cloud workloads, secure inter-region and hybrid connections using VPN and private connectivity services, monitor cloud network traffic for anomalies, and troubleshoot cloud network security issues while maintaining least-privilege network access. This architecture course teaches secure system design using proven patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to evaluate design options against security requirements, make informed trade-off decisions, and build systems that are resilient by design. Students gain the architectural thinking skills needed for security engineering and solution design roles.
