Network Attack Surface_ Definition and Defense

In this premiere of DeepDive, XatusBetaZx17 explores the network attack surface—all the places an adversary might exploit to breach your systems. We’ll define the attack surface, walk through vulnerabilities at each of the OSI layers, compare external vs. internal risks, and lay out a defense-in-depth blueprint for protecting your network. Whether you’re building your first home lab or architecting enterprise security, you’ll come away with concrete steps to shrink your attack surface.
