What is Internal Network Segmentation?

Internal Network Segmentation divides a network into smaller segments to enhance security by restricting access to sensitive data and limiting lateral movement in case of a breach.

Understanding Internal Network Segmentation

Internal Network Segmentation refers to the practice of dividing a single network into multiple segments or subnetworks to enhance security by isolating different parts of the network. This helps limit the impact of a potential security breach by containing it within a specific segment, thus preventing lateral movement of threats across the entire network.
