What is perimeter security?  Perimeter security, in the context of cybersecurity, refers to the measures and strategies implemented to protect an organization's internal network from external threats. It establishes a boundary, or perimeter, between the organization's internal network and the external environment, such as the internet. The goal of perimeter security is to prevent unauthorized access, attacks, and breaches from reaching the internal network and its resources. Here are some key components and concepts related to perimeter security: Firewalls: Firewalls are the cornerstone of perimeter security. They inspect incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined rules and policies. Firewalls can block or allow traffic based on factors such as IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): IDPS solutions monitor network traffic for signs of malicious activity or known attack patterns. They can detect and prevent i...

The Well-Architected Framework is a set of best practices and guidelines designed to help cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications. The framework is developed by AWS (Amazon Web Services), but similar principles can be applied to other cloud platforms. The Well-Architected Framework consists of five pillars, each addressing a key aspect of building well-designed and well-operated systems. These pillars are: Operational Excellence: Focuses on operational practices that ensure efficient and effective use of cloud resources. Key considerations include monitoring, incident response, automation, and overall operational health. Security: Emphasizes the importance of implementing robust security measures to protect data, systems, and assets. Covers data protection, identity and access management, and incident response, among other security aspects. Reliability: Aims to ensure a system's ability to recover from failures ...
