Network Hardening Workshop
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 hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
