• Understanding of fundamental networking concepts, including TCP/IP, DNS, routing, subnets, and firewalls/security groups, with the ability to apply systematic troubleshooting methods.
• Basic understanding of infrastructure security concepts such as least privilege, vulnerability remediation, system hardening, and security baselines.
