Security: how to implement network segmentation
Good practices of network segmentation
There are two good practices to follow to segment a network.
Create safety rules and identify resources.To implement network segmentation, network teams must start by creating security rules for each type of data and each type of resources they must protect.These rules must identify each resource, users and systems that access them, as well as the type of access that must be provided.
Use authorization lists.Then the teams must set up access controls by authorization list.This practice considerably improves network safety.To do this, the teams must identify the data flows of each application.Although this process can require a lot of work, time and efforts are worth it compared to the cost of a cybersecurity incident.
