What is Microsegmentation? Route Caching SDN Security SNMP

Microsegmentation is a technique of network security that helps security architects to divide the data Storage Switching Virtualization VOIP

It is the micro-segmentation that enables the IT industry to deploy different security policies inside the
data center with the help of network virtualization technology.

There is no need to install multiple firewalls in this method. Micro segmentation is also used to protect
the virtual machine (VM) in the enterprise network which is policy-driven.

When you compare different micro-segmentation vendors, always keep one thing in mind – to look for a
vendor which uses the advanced technology of Microsegmentation and provides decent solutions.

It should also have a feature of flexible policy creation and capabilities like breach detection. It will make
the implementation process easy and helps you in a quick win from starting.

During the implementation process, it is important to choose a future proof approach so that it can easily
merge with the ongoing models like containers in addition to virtual machines, bare-metal servers, and
cloud instances.

Now we will move to another terminology that is Zero trust?

ZERO TRUST:
Zero Trust is a strategic initiative that helps in preventing successful data breaching by removing the
concept of trust from the network architecture of an organization. It is based on the principle of “never
trust, always verify”.
It is designed for the protection of the modern digital environment from leveraging network
segmentation, Layer 7 threat prevention, prevention of lateral movement and simplifying user access
control of granular.

The concept of zero trusts was introduced by John Kindervag when he was a vice president & principal
analyst for the Forrester Research which is based on the realization that traditional methods of security
models are operated on the outdated assumptions which say inside every organization’s network there is
trust.

Under the model of Zero Trust, it is believed that the user’s identity is not at all compromised and all the
users act responsibly & can be trusted. This model says that trust is vulnerable.

Once the users on the network including threat actors & malicious insiders are allowed to move freely
and can access the data whatever they want. There is no limit. Mind one thing that infiltration of the
attack is not often the targeted location.

Always remember one thing that this model is not based on making a trusted system rather it works on
eliminating the trust. Most of the data breach is caused due to the misuse of privileged credentials.

Microsegmentation vs Zero Trust

Now that we have gone through the basics of Microsegmentation and Zero trust, below table helps us
understand how both differ in comparison to each other.
