Understanding Intent-Based Segmentation

Intent-Based Segmentation is a cybersecurity approach that focuses on enforcing security policies based on the intent of the user or application, rather than just traditional methods like IP addresses or VLANs. It aims to dynamically segment and control network traffic by analyzing factors such as user identity, device posture, location, and application behavior, ultimately enhancing security and minimizing the attack surface within the network.
