What you'll do

In this lab, you will reduce risk from a vulnerable DMZ web application using compensating controls.

  1. Validate the application’s exposure from the Outside network
  2. Implement access and configuration controls that reduce exploitability and limit impact
  3. Verify the attack surface is reduced and that useful defensive evidence is available in logs

Note: Once you begin the lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or return to your lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the lab before you start.
