Network Segmentation Basics

Limit blast radius

Network segmentation creates zones (by sensitivity or function), enforces access rules between them, and monitors traffic to contain incidents and reduce congestion.

Design Zones

Group assets by sensitivity/function; define allowed flows.

Enforce

Use firewalls/ACLs/microsegmentation to restrict traffic.

Monitor

Log inter-zone traffic; adjust when apps or risks change.
