Network Segmentation
Essentials
Network Segmentation is the process of separating networks
containing sensitive information from those that do not.
Benefits
By segmenting networks, the security focus can be placed on
the areas that matter most. This reduces the costs of compliance
with many regulations. Additionally, labor intensive or costly
hardening may be limited to those networks that are needed the
most. This also guarantees that only approved employees have
access to sensitive information, which reduces the negative
effects if a breach should occur.
