Episode 150 — Troubleshooting Security Appliances — WAF, IPS, IDS, NAC
In this episode, we examine problems related to security appliances such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and Network Access Control (NAC) solutions. Misconfigurations, firmware issues, or integration problems can limit their effectiveness or disrupt normal operations.
We also explain how to diagnose these issues using event logs, performance metrics, and configuration audits, as well as how to update or re-tune rules for optimal protection. On the Cloud+ exam, being able to troubleshoot security appliance behavior is crucial for ensuring they perform their intended protective functions without causing service interruptions.
