Micro Segmentation Solutions
Micro-segmentation is a security approach that involves granularly grouping services that serve in different roles within the same network with many methods, dividing them into segments and applying specific security controls to each segment according to the requirements of the segment.
The granular security controls that micro-segmentation brings to workloads or applications are invaluable for the modern cloud environment where multiple applications run on the same server or virtual machine. Instead of having a single security policy for the server, organisations are made to have more secure networks with security controls to individual workloads and applications.
The most common problem with micro-segmentation today is that malicious software or individuals can prevent horizontal progression after infiltration.
