Compartmentalization: The strategic division of various components, resources, or entities within a larger system to limit exposure to threats and minimize potential damage. This separation can be achieved in several ways, such as through physical separation, virtualization, or role-based access controls, ensuring that a compromise in one area doesn’t lead to a breach in others.
