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
