Page 153 of the DSE Networks & Infrastructure knowledge center, with source-backed guidance and practical next steps.
Guidance for resilient networks, Wi-Fi, firewalls, cabling, power, exposure reduction, and connected-device planning.
Block, file, object, virtualized, and cloud storage bring distinct control and recovery paths. Inventory data flows, management planes, identities, isolation, protection, restoration, and encryption as one system.

VM traffic may traverse virtual switches, overlays, host paths, and distributed controls. Design segmentation, redundancy, traffic enforcement, and monitoring against the real path.

TLS security depends on protocol versions, algorithms, certificates, extensions, endpoints, and application behavior. Inventory and test both sides before removing an old path or enabling a new one.

FIPS 203 specifies ML-KEM for establishing shared secret keys. Adoption still requires a supported protocol binding, implementation, parameter choice, key lifecycle, interoperability test, and rollback plan.

An MCP server can expose data and executable tools to an AI client. Inventory the publisher, code, tool definitions, identities, token audiences, network destinations, versions, changes, logs, and revocation path before allowing production use.

Configuration drift can reveal errors, emergency changes, failed deployment, legitimate exceptions, or compromise. Normalize the evidence, classify impact, assign ownership, and require controlled remediation.

DNSSEC validation can authenticate signed DNS data and detect certain tampering, but it does not encrypt queries or certify that a destination is safe. Deploy it with measured resolver tests and failure handling.

A copied running configuration is not yet a recovery capability. Prove that hardware, firmware, licensing, identity, certificates, secrets, dependencies, telemetry, and business traffic can be restored together.
