Episode 145 — Troubleshooting Security Groups — Directory and Network

August 24, 2025 · 12 min

Show notes

In this episode, we explain how security group misconfigurations can cause connectivity or access problems. Directory security groups manage access to identity resources, while network security groups control traffic to and from specific subnets or instances. Misalignment between these layers can create inconsistent access behavior.

We also cover troubleshooting steps like verifying group memberships, inspecting network security group rules, and checking inheritance conflicts. For the Cloud+ exam, resolving security group issues is essential for ensuring both secure and functional cloud operations. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
