🌐 Network Security Skill
🎯 Purpose
Enforce cloud-native network security with zero-trust architecture, based on Network Security Policy.
Key Principle: *"The perimeter is dead. Long live zero-trust."*
📚 Scope
- ☁️ Cloud-Native Protection (AWS-native services)
- 🔐 Zero-Trust Architecture (never trust, always verify)
- 🛡️ Network Segmentation (VPC isolation, security groups)
- 🔑 VPN Requirements (secure remote access)
- 🔥 Firewall Rules (AWS WAF, security groups, NACLs)
