Is it much harder than just having a flat network? Of course. The issue is more in that it requires more effort from your network engineers more so than cost.

It also requires way more effort of your infosec personnel who on average might not have the skillsets to be effective in being proactive in enforcing isolation. Your career long Nessus watcher might have a brain meltdown if they are to assess risk in network design issues more complex than firewall rules.

It’s also much harder to remediate flat network problems the longer they exist. Everyone involved would rather ignore it.

Quoted for truth.

I can't agree more. Proper ACL, no trust IAM,, etc. are ultimately more effective than a bunch of VLANs.

VLANs are not bad, but they are also not security and most Networking teams stop after making them and leave them as one giant flat network, but with multiple DHCP scopes.

there are a lot of complexities associated with full stack TLS. I agree that it's something to strive for, but terminating SSL at edge and then using HTTP traffic for internal services (assuming that no traffic goes out through the internet again) is not a completely insane idea depending on your architecture. It's not great, and obviously it's best to use encryption wherever you can! But there are other problems I'd tackle first.

In fact, lots of BigCloud providers do so within their architecture! I know for a fact GCP does not use HTTPS everywhere internally once you've gone through a L7 load balancer, for example.

its also a terrible idea because it basically is the EXACT opposite of zerotrust, and if anyone pops any of your internal nodes and just LISTENS, they are going to get free creds. I would never encourage this. I'd also assume groups like AWS and GCP are doing SSL decryption where it makes no sense to NOT be TLS everywhere internally because when they need it plaintext they are already decrypting.

And yeah, its fairly standard practice to strip TLS at the load balancer, but that comes with its own risks especially if you can figure out how to identify the machines behind the load balancer.

AWS makes it horribly difficult to use HTTPS between load balancers and instances. 😩

Cup Runneth Over posted:

It's not that bad. Just use a network load balancer and pass the traffic through as-is, or use an application load balancer and have it connect to the targets over https (internally signed certs are fine here). The only pain is that you can't use ACM, which is great and all, but "equivalent to the work you'd have to do in an on-prem deployment" doesn't really seem like "AWS makes it horribly difficult."

But, really, it's also not all that necessary outside of check-the-box compliance. AWS is very strict about not letting instances see each others' traffic - sure, you can put an interface into promiscuous mode, but you can't touch the switch that says "you only see the traffic I want you to see." That still leaves the threat of someone breaking into AWS at the infrastructure or physical level and adjusting things to snoop on traffic, but at that point, you have to assume that they'd be able to reach right into your EC2 instance and snag the private key no matter what you do. Protecting against that kind of threat means you need to leave public cloud infrastructure and run your own hardware top to bottom, in your own datacenter with your own physical security.

I am curious what your pain points are for this situation.

I haven't found this to be the case, even with absurd setups like akamai in front of akamai in front of akamai in front of a load balancer. At a minimum you just use a NLB and terminate your TLS traffic on your instance, if you need to know the IP enable proxy protocol.

I am a bit more ok in this discussion context about final TLS being early-terminated because I know your hopefully correctly set up and constrained VPC is .. your VPC, and it isn't going to be sniffable in plaintext across the entire org like an onprem flat network design. Same with GCP.

Encryption over the amateur radio bands is absolutely verboten, and you will legitimately get arrested for even experimenting with it.
