Network Segmentation

Network segmentation is a security practice that divides a larger computer network into smaller, isolated sections or subnets. This setup helps prevent cyber threats from spreading across the entire network, so if one segment faces an attack or a breach, the others remain protected. It also improves performance by reducing traffic congestion and allows for better control over who accesses specific parts of the network. Think of it like having separate rooms in a building—if something goes wrong in one room, it doesn’t affect the others.
