Episode 32 — Manage Network Risk: Exposure, Lateral Movement Paths, and Resilience Weaknesses (Task 2)
This episode teaches how to manage network risk by focusing on exposure points, lateral movement paths, and resilience weaknesses that amplify incident impact. You will learn to identify high-risk entry paths such as remote management access, exposed services, and weak segmentation, then connect those paths to real adversary behavior during reconnaissance and expansion. We will discuss resilience as part of network risk, including single points of failure, fragile routing dependencies, and insufficient monitoring that delays detection. You will also hear scenarios where network risk management means balancing security with availability, such as implementing controls that reduce exposure without breaking critical business connectivity. Exam questions often test whether you can pick the most effective change given constraints, such as tightening access, improving monitoring, or restructuring segmentation to reduce movement opportunities.
