From Good to Great: Mastering Day-2 Network Security Policy

Achieving a solid network segmentation policy is only the beginning. In today’s dynamic threat landscape, even the most well-architected segmentation policies require continuous tuning and vigilance after deployment. This session dives deep into the evolving world of Day-2 network security — where static rules become liabilities, and policy maintenance is a continuous battle against misconfigurations, overly permissive access, and silent policy failures. Join us to explore 7 critical real-world scenarios that expose hidden gaps in segmentation strategies — from overshadowed and zero-hit rules to unrestricted admin access and rogue remote tools. Learn how attackers exploit these weaknesses and how security teams can shift from a “set it and forget it” mindset to a proactive, adaptive approach. We’ll cover actionable techniques to: - Detect and eliminate overly broad or obsolete rules - Enforce least-privilege communication at scale - Use automation and traffic intelligence to continuously optimize your policy - Bring hidden attack paths to light — before adversaries do Akamai is an approved ISC2 CPE Submitter Partner.
