Segmentation: The Foundation of Network Security
Understanding Segmentation Network segmentation is a fundamental concept in cybersecurity and network design that involves dividing a computer network into smaller, distinct subnetworks or segments. Each segment acts as a separate network, allowing for granular control over data flow, access, and security policies. 🔑 Key aspects of segmentation include: Logical Separation: Segments are typically created using VLANs, subnets, or virtual networks, providing logical boundaries between different parts of the network. Access Control: Segmentation allows for the implementation of strict access controls between segments, limiting lateral movement within the network....
