Essentials of Network Segmentation for Enhanced Security

In-Depth Description

Network segmentation involves dividing a computer network into smaller, isolated subnetworks or segments. This practice enhances security by limiting the attacker’s ability to move laterally within the network if one segment is compromised. This article explores the benefits of segmentation, different methods (e.g., VLANs, firewalls, microsegmentation), and how it aligns with Zero Trust security principles to protect critical assets.
