Network segmentation divides your network into isolated zones so that if one zone is compromised, an attacker cannot automatically spread to everything else. It is one of the most effective controls for limiting damage from a breach.
The Segmentation Strategy That Works
Identify your crown jewels: systems with the greatest value or risk. Databases with customer records, servers with intellectual property, financial systems, and identity infrastructure all deserve isolation. Place these in a secure network segment with strict access controls.
Separate office networks from guest networks. Separate servers from user devices. Separate development environments from production. Use firewalls to enforce these boundaries.
Segmentation Is Not Visible to Users
Proper segmentation works seamlessly. Users access what they need. But an attacker who gains access to one segment cannot laterally move to another without breaking through additional controls.
