Network Segmentation

Understand how to segment your network for better security.

What is Network Segmentation?

Network segmentation is a security technique that involves dividing a network into smaller, isolated segments or sub-networks. This helps to improve security by limiting the attack surface and reducing the spread of malware.

  • Improved security
  • Reduced attack surface
  • Better control over network traffic
  • Identify sensitive areas of the network
  • Use VLANs or sub-networks to segment the network
  • Implement access controls and firewalls

Advantages of Network Segmentation

Network segmentation provides several advantages, including improved security, reduced attack surface, and better control over network traffic.

Implementing Network Segmentation

To implement network segmentation, identify sensitive areas of the network, use VLANs or sub-networks to segment the network, and implement access controls and firewalls.

Best Practices for Network Segmentation

  • Regularly review and update network segmentation
  • Use strong access controls and authentication
  • Monitor network traffic and detect anomalies
