How to Build a Micro-Segmentation Strategy

Overview
Deployed at the network layer, segmentation was first developed to improve network performance. But as cybersecurity experts have realized that a “perimeter only” approach to security is not working, it’s become increasingly clear that micro-segmentation is foundational to data center and cloud security. Organizations looking to secure the interior of their environments often need to be more dynamic and more granular than network segmentation will allow. Micro-segmentation makes this possible.
