SECURITY POSTURE

A transparent log of defensive configurations currently under research and laboratory stress-testing.

Security Thesis:In OT, availability is king. This registry tracks my progress in 'Physical-First' security—moving from basic IT hardening to industrial-grade protection strategies like VRF isolation and broadcast suppression.

LEARNING

Management Plane Isolation

Researching the separation of SSH/SNMP traffic into a dedicated VRF or Management VLAN.

Risk_Mitigation

Unauthorized infrastructure access

STAGED

Sticky Port Security

Drafting MAC-address limiting configurations to prevent unauthorized physical hardware injection.

Risk_Mitigation

Physical layer breach / Rogue devices

PROTOTYPE

Unused Service Deactivation

Identifying and disabling non-essential services like Telnet, HTTP, and CDP on virtual nodes.

Risk_Mitigation

Attack surface reduction

LEARNING

Broadcast Storm Control

Studying threshold limits to prevent Layer 2 loops from crashing time-critical OT traffic.

Risk_Mitigation

Availability loss / Denial of Service

Laboratory_Disclaimer

The configurations above represent a pedagogical roadmap. Systems are not marked as "Production_Verified" until they have survived physical stress-testing in the hardware lab.
