Practice makes posture — run regular red/blue drills.
Schedule tabletop exercises and controlled simulations (Pacu, Atomic Red Team) in a lab account. Use the findings to prioritize hardening and update runbooks. Repeat quarterly.

Zero Trust is not a product — it’s a discipline.
Stop trusting “inside the network.” Verify identity, device posture, and context on every request. Start by enforcing MFA + conditional access for all privileged roles.

Network segmentation divides a web app’s infrastructure into isolated zones (DMZ, App, DB) — reducing lateral movement, improving visibility, and allowing safe, controlled testing environments that mirror production without risking real systems.
