Why Micro-Segment Networks? - Importance, Strategy & Best Practices
Security Boulevard, Wednesday, April 26,2023
If you're aiming to secure your organization's network and data, then micro-segmentation is definitely worth your attention.
If your company uses a traditional network architecture, then all devices are connected to one network where everything connected to the network can communicate freely with one another. The problem with this approach is that the network and all devices are vulnerable to attack. When an attacker compromises one device with access to the network, the attacker can compromise other devices by moving laterally across the network.
One of the best solutions to the mentioned security threat is micro-segmentation, and it can do more than just secure your organization's network and data. As its name implies, micro-segmentation segments a network into smaller networks. But how is this done, and why is it important?
