The document discusses network segmentation strategies on the Azure platform. It outlines several segmentation options on Azure including subscriptions, virtual networks, network security groups, application security groups, and Azure Firewall. It recommends segmenting based on principles such as splitting workstations from servers, grouping by physical location, separating production and non-production workloads, and isolating high risk or sensitive assets. The hub-spoke architecture is presented as a common topology for implementing segmentation on Azure with shared services in the hub and isolated workloads in spokes.

Defending Applications In the Cloud: Architecting Layered Security Solutions ...EC-Council
The many benefits of running enterprise applications in cloud computing environments make the migration from traditional data center hosting to cloud service providers compelling. Differences in the way cloud computing services are delivered raise questions about how best to ensure that cloud-hosted applications implement security measures associated with conventional defense-in-depth strategies. Although the virtualized, distributed infrastructure characteristic of cloud computing environments does not directly support the separate zones long used to deploy multi-tier applications, there are architectural features and services available from many cloud service providers that can be used to design functionally equivalent security models. This session will present practical design considerations and architectural patterns for securing cloud-based applications. It will highlight key functions and security measures available from major cloud providers such as Amazon Web Service and Microsoft Azure. Despite the quite valid security concerns many organizations have about deploying applications to cloud computing environments, the infrastructure and platform services many CSPs offer may actually result in stronger security controls than would be feasible in in-house or traditional IT outsourcing environments.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. Internal Use
A Good Segmentation
Enables Operations – Minimizes operation friction by aligning to business
practices and applications
Contains Risk - Adds cost and friction
to attackers by
Isolating sensitive workloads from compromise of other
assets
Isolating high exposure systems from being used as a pivot
to other systems
Monitored – Security Operations should monitor for potential violations
of the integrity of the segments (account usage, unexpected traffic, etc.)
3. Internal Use
Segmentation Design Principle
Split workstations from servers
Group by physical locations: Campus/branch, on-premises data center/IaaS.
Data center zones: Separate non-production from production, development from QA, and databases/data stores from nondata
stores.
Group similar assets: IoT, OT, groups of applications (“application fencing”), databases, core services, corperate device, guest
device and BYOD, untrusted or unknow device.
Split high risk assets: Compliance (PCI, critical infrastructure), risk assessment (high/medium/low), data categorization (highly
confidential, internal).
Align with authentication strategy: Group unauthenticated public assets separately from authenticated private entities.
5. Internal Use
Azure segmentation options:
Subscription
Subscription: Subscriptions are a
high-level construct, which provides
platform powered separation
between entities.
It's intended to carve out boundaries
between large organizations within a
company.
Communication between resources
in different subscriptions needs to
be explicitly provisioned.
6. Internal Use
Azure segmentation options:
Virtual Network
Virtual Network: Virtual networks
are created within a subscription in
private address spaces.
The networks provide network-level
containment of resources, with no
traffic allowed by default between
any two virtual networks.
Like subscriptions, any
communication between virtual
networks needs to be explicitly
provisioned.
7. Internal Use
Azure segmentation options:
Network Security Groups
Network Security Groups (NSG):
NSGs are access control mechanisms
for controlling traffic between
resources within a virtual network.
An NSG also controls traffic with
external networks, such as the
internet, other virtual networks, and
so on.
NSGs can take your segmentation
strategy to a granular level by
creating perimeters for a subnet,
group of VMs, or even a single
virtual machine.
8. Internal Use
Azure segmentation options:
Application Security Groups
Application Security Groups (ASGs):
ASGs provide control mechanisms
similar to NSGs but are referenced
with an application context.
An ASG allows you to group a set of
VMs under an application tag.
It can define traffic rules that are
then applied to each of the
underlying VMs.
9. Internal Use
Azure segmentation options:
Azure Firewall
Azure Firewall: Azure Firewall is a cloud
native stateful Firewall as a service.
This firewall can be deployed in your virtual
networks or in Azure Virtual WAN hub
deployments for filtering traffic that flows
between cloud resources, the Internet, and
on-premise.
You create rules or policies (using Azure
Firewall or Azure Firewall Manager)
specifying allow/deny traffic using layer 3
to layer 7 controls.
You can also filter traffic that goes to the
internet using both Azure Firewall and third
parties.
Direct some or all traffic through third-
party security providers for advanced
filtering and user protection.
11. Internal Use
Hub-spoke network topology in Azure :
Use cases
• Workloads deployed in different
environments, such as development,
testing, and production, that require
shared services such as DNS, IDS, NTP, or
AD DS.
Shared services are placed in the hub
virtual network, while each environment is
deployed to a spoke to maintain isolation.
• Workloads that don't require connectivity
to each other but require access to shared
services.
• Enterprises that require central control
over security aspects, such as a firewall in
the hub as a DMZ, and segregated
management for the workloads in each
spoke.
12. Internal Use
Hub-spoke network topology in Azure :
Architecture
• Hub virtual network: The hub virtual
network is the central point of
connectivity to your on-premises
network.
It's a place to host services that can be
consumed by the different workloads
hosted in the spoke virtual networks.
• Spoke virtual networks: Spoke virtual
networks are used to isolate workloads
in their own virtual networks, managed
separately from other spokes.
Each workload might include multiple
tiers, with multiple subnets connected
through Azure load balancers.
13. Internal Use
Hub-spoke network topology in Azure:
Operational considerations
Network monitoring
Use Azure Network Watcher to monitor and
troubleshoot the network components.
Tools like Traffic Analytics will show you the
systems in your virtual networks that generate
the most traffic.
Then you can visually identify bottlenecks
before they degenerate into problems.
Network Performance Manager is the right
tool to monitor information about Microsoft
ExpressRoute circuits.
VPN diagnostics is another tool that can help
troubleshoot site-to-site VPN connections
connecting your applications to users on-
premises.
14. Internal Use
Hub-spoke network topology in Azure:
Cost considerations
Azure Firewall
An Azure Firewall is deployed in the hub
network in this architecture.
When used as a shared solution and
consumed by multiple workloads, an Azure
Firewall can save up to 30-50% over other
network virtual appliance
Virtual network peering
Ingress and egress traffic is charged at both
ends of the peered networks.
Different zones have different transfer rates.
For instance, data transfer from a virtual
network in zone 1 to another virtual network
in zone 2, will incur outbound transfer rate for
zone 1 and inbound rate for zone 2.
17. Internal Use
Segmentation at Subscription level
• Align with management
• Billing
• Policy
• Line of Responsibility
18. Internal Use
Segmentation at VNet level
• Split Clients from Servers
• Cloud virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI):
• Azure Virtual Desktop
• Citrix Virtual App and Desktop
• VMWare Horizon Cloud
• Cloud PC:
• Windows 365 Desktop
• Point to Site (P2S) VPN
• Group by physical location: Azure region
• Split non-production from production
• Non-production and production
• Dev, test and production
19. Internal Use
Segmentation at VNet level (2)
• Separate high potential impact and/or a high potential exposure to risk applications
• High potential impact:
• Business critical data – Applications that process or store information, which would cause significant negative
business or mission impact if an assurance of confidentiality, integrity, or availability is lost.
• Regulated data – Applications that handle monetary instruments and sensitive personal information regulated by
standards. For example, payment card industry (PCI) and Health Information Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA).
• Business critical availability – Applications whose functionality is critical to organizations business mission such as
production lines generating revenue, devices, or services critical to life and safety, and other critical functions.
• Significant Access – Applications which have access to systems with a high potential impact through technical
• Stored Credentials or keys/certificates that grant access to the data/service
• Permissions granted via access control lists or other means
• High exposure to attacks:
• Applications that are easily accessible to attackers such as web applications on the open internet.
• Legacy applications can also be higher exposure as attackers and penetration testers frequently target them because
they know these legacy applications often have vulnerabilities that are difficult to fix.
20. Internal Use
Segmentation at NSG Level
• Split compute service from data
store service
• Group similar resources
• Group of Applications
• Group of Databases
• Group of Clients
** recommend associate NSG to
subnet
21. Internal Use
Segmentation at ASG Level
• Group same resource in NSG
