Bridging Kubernetes, Cilium & eBPF to Networking Concepts for Network Engineers: Part 2 Security
As cloud-native technologies continue to converge with traditional networking in the data center and enterprise, understanding how Kubernetes, Cilium and eBPF works is crucial for network engineers. With hybrid mesh firewalls being the latest trend, and distributed firewalls (like Cisco's Hypershield) emerging in the market.
Understanding how Kubernetes transforms traditional IP networking concepts into a dynamic, software-defined environment is crucial. This article demystifies Kubernetes security, making it accessible for network engineers familiar with VLANs and routing domains. You may think this doesn't apply to you, but if you're planning a firewall refresh anytime soon, then these concepts will need to be part of your vernacular going forward.

Beyond the Front Door: The Importance of Detection and Response
Securing the "front door" of your organization is a great start, but if you don't secure the whole house it's just a false sense of security.
Harnessing Artificial Intelligence in Network Detection and Response
AI-driven network detection and response (NDR) is transforming cybersecurity by improving threat detection, accelerating response times and reducing the burden on security teams. This article explores how AI enhances visibility, automates mitigation and strengthens compliance, helping organizations stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
The Grizzled CyberVet: State of Network Security
Network security has evolved rapidly, with the field now embracing zero trust, AI-driven defenses and integrated platforms. The next five years will see AI, SASE and quantum-resistant cryptography reshape the landscape. Enterprises must consolidate tools, adopt AI automation and prioritize identity-first security to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Secure your future now.
A CTO'S Primer on Zero Trust: Part 2 - Overcoming Implementation Challenges
Zero trust shifts from traditional network defenses to nuanced, controlled security, but integrating legacy systems and creating precise access policies pose significant challenges. Success requires strategic planning and collaboration, balancing security with usability. The journey to Zero Trust demands foresight, technical rigor and commitment to a resilient security posture.

Palo Alto Cortex XDR Proving Ground Lab
WWT's ATC Palo Alto Cortex XDR Proving Ground Lab provides a consolidated solution built around Cortex XDR, the Palo Alto firewall, Windows endpoints and Windows servers to demonstrate how the Cortex XDR Agent protects against threats. The goal of Cortex XDR is to increase the operational efficiency of the security operations center. Cortex XDR accomplishes this by reducing alerts by combining similar events, stitching together logs from different sources and preventing as many threats as possible early in the attack cycle. Cortex XDR goes beyond the traditional EDR approach of using only endpoint data to identify and respond to threats by applying machine learning across all your enterprise, network, cloud and endpoint data. This approach enables you to quickly find and stop targeted attacks, insider abuse and remediate compromised endpoints. Cortex XDR combines functionality from Endpoint Protection, Endpoint Detection and Response, Network Traffic Analysis and User Behavior Analytics into a single console. This lab consists of servers running common applications that include Palo Alto Cortex XDR, Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, Palo Alto VM-Series firewall, Active Directory, Windows IIS and SQL server, and several Windows 10 workstations. You will access the environment using a Windows-based jump host from which you can browse web consoles and open RDP/SSH sessions.
