Surface exposed. Harden it. 🛡️➖
INGRESS MONITORING 🚪⬅️🌐
Watching traffic coming INTO your network
What it monitors:
- External attacks, scans, exploitation attempts
- Malware downloads, phishing traffic
- Unauthorized access attempts
Defensive focus: “Who’s knocking at my door?”
- Firewall rules, intrusion detection, access controls
- #OG Translation: “Watching who’s trying to break into your house”
EGRESS MONITORING 🚪➡️🌐
Watching traffic leaving OUT OF your network
What it monitors:
- Data exfiltration, data theft
- Beaconing/C2 communications
- Policy violations, unauthorized external connections
Defensive focus: “What’s leaving my house that shouldn’t be?”
- Data loss prevention (DLP), outbound firewall rules
- #OG Translation: “Making sure your secrets aren’t walking out the door”
THE EXPLOIT’S PERSPECTIVE 🕳️🔍
Vulnerability: Most organizations focus only on ingress Patch: Egress monitoring catches what ingress misses
Attackers get in through ingress. They steal your data through egress.
Your firewall is cute, but your data is still leaking out the back door. 😏🔓
Real-world analogy:
- Ingress: Checking IDs at the front door
- Egress: Checking bags when people leave
