Micro-segmentation

Micro-segmentation is a security strategy that divides a network into small, isolated segments to control and limit access. Think of it like creating secure compartments within a larger system, so even if one part is compromised, the breach doesn’t easily spread to others. This approach allows organizations to enforce specific security policies for each segment, reducing risks and containing threats more effectively. It’s particularly useful in complex networks where protecting sensitive data and critical systems is essential, ensuring that each part of the network has tailored protections based on its importance and risk level.
