Network Segmentation: Network segmentation involves dividing a larger network into smaller, isolated subnetworks to enhance security, performance, and manageability. By controlling the flow of traffic between segments, organizations can better contain security breaches and reduce the scope of potential attacks. Techniques for network segmentation include the use of VLANs, firewalls, and network access control lists.
