NetworkSecurity

Firewalls, WAF, security groups — controlling what traffic can reach what.

Why we need this / what value this brings

Network-level controls are a defense layer independent of application code — they stop attacks that never even reach your app logic.

When to use this

Whenever provisioning infrastructure with any internet-facing surface.

How to use or implement this

Default to deny-all, then explicitly allow only the traffic that's actually needed (see Networking/VPC-Subnetting for the layout this depends on).
