Limits unauthorized access by isolating critical areas of the network, reducing the impact of potential breaches.
Reduces congestion by separating network traffic, ensuring faster and more reliable performance.
Prevents malware or cyberattacks from spreading across the network by segmenting vulnerable areas.
Facilitates adherence to regulatory standards by isolating sensitive data and ensuring controlled access.
Enables tailored permissions for users and devices, ensuring only authorized personnel can access critical systems.
Designing and implementing a segmented network structure can be resource-intensive and costly.
Requires ongoing configuration and monitoring to ensure segments remain secure and operational.
Errors in segmenting the network can create vulnerabilities or disrupt communication between systems.
Adding new devices or segments can be complicated and require additional resources.
Regular updates and adjustments are needed to ensure continued effectiveness as networks evolve.
