Using micro-segmentation, we can create secure zones across cloud and data center environments in order to isolate workloads from one another and make sure that they are secure on an individual basis. Micro-segmentation features firewall policies that can be used to manage east-west traffic between workloads. Using zero-trust security, this approach reduces attack surfaces, prevents the movement of threats laterally, and improves regulatory compliance by preventing breaches between workloads.
Micro-segmentation has a number of benefits that include
