Who it's for

The learning route

7 modules, in order. Each one builds on the last.

01Networking foundations for cloudRouting, segmentation and traffic flow, the CCIE way, then mapped to cloud.
  • IP routing, BGP and route control
  • VRFs and segmentation
  • How on-prem constructs map to VPCs, VNets and Transit Gateways
02Cloud networking on AWS and AzureDesigning hub-and-spoke, egress and inspection at scale.
  • VPC / VNet design and IP planning
  • Transit Gateway and Azure Virtual WAN
  • Gateway Load Balancer and traffic inspection patterns
03Cloud security architectureIdentity, posture and entitlements as the real perimeter.
  • Cloud IAM design
  • CSPM and CIEM in practice
  • Logging, detection and guardrails
04Zero Trust architectureFrom principles to a design you can defend for a regulated enterprise.
  • Zero Trust principles and reference architectures
  • ZTNA and secure internet access
  • Workload-to-workload Zero Trust
  • BFSI compliance considerations
05DevSecOps and infrastructure as codeBuilding secure architecture into the pipeline.
  • Terraform for network and security
  • Policy as code
  • Software supply chain security
06AI securityApplying Zero Trust thinking to LLM applications and agents.
  • OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications
  • Prompt injection and data leakage
  • AI security posture management (AISPM)
07Capstone: architecture reviewDesign a Zero Trust cloud architecture and defend it, the way it happens in industry.
  • Requirements and threat model
  • Design document and diagrams
  • Live review with feedback

Questions

Do I need a networking background?

It helps, but module 1 covers the foundations you need.

Is this tied to one vendor?

No. The architecture patterns apply across vendors; product examples are used where they make ideas concrete.

How do I get started?

Send an enquiry with your background and goals, and I will suggest the right format.

Ready to start?

Tell me your background and where you want to get to. I'll suggest the right format.
