How to adopt microsegmentation: From visibility to control | TechTarget
Cybersecurity decisions now factor into an organization's broader risk and resilience strategy. Implementing microsegmentation is a crucial example of this type of decision-making.
Microsegmentation is an advanced security strategy that employs granular, identity- and context-aware policies to restrict lateral movement, enforce consistent controls across complex hybrid environments and reduce the impact of cyberthreats. It results in a reduced blast radius, faster containment and improved compliance posture. It is also a core enabler of a zero-trust strategy.
Read on to learn about microsegmentation's lifecycle, including visibility, policy design, enforcement, validation and continuous improvement.
Why microsegmentation matters now
The proliferation of incidents involving lateral movement across hybrid attack surfaces makes microsegmentation crucial. The erosion of legacy perimeter-based security models and increasing regulatory pressures add to its importance.
Microsegmentation is a building block for zero-trust architectures and security stacks, including those that integrate strategies such as identity and access management (IAM...
