Activity overview
The assets within a cloud environment need to be protected from unauthorized access. To address this, security professionals use perimeter protection which refers to the security measures implemented to defend the edge of a network or system against unauthorized access and cyber threats. One type of perimeter protection includes using firewalls to manage and secure network traffic entering and leaving a cloud environment. Firewalls help protect trusted internal networks (like a company's private network) from untrusted external networks (such as the Internet). Firewalls examine both incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined rules to either allow or block specific data packets. This is crucial for helping maintain application security, traffic control, compliance, and policy enforcement.
In this lab, you‘ll access a firewall and create rules to test the security of a server and make modifications as necessary.
