GIAC Defensible Security Architecture (GDSA) Network segmentation, cryptographic principles, and threat modeling form your baseline for GDSA. The exam assumes you’ve designed or implemented security controls across infrastructure layers, not just studied them theoretically. Gaps in understanding how authentication systems integrate with access management will surface quickly during scenario-based questions.
