protect network segments that do not require
extensive security controls.
The development and production environment
within an organization is another example of microseg. If a company develops software that must
be tested by third-parties that exist outside of an
organization, it is possible to isolate traffic specific
to the training requirements of users that need to
be streamlined.

trial controls and IoT systems to levels never attainable using legacy " as a service " applications,
while also improving on current industry best
practices as Zero-Trust networks. SSI

Road to Cybersecurity's Future?
While there are compelling reasons to
have confidence in Zero Trust, network
microseg offers substantial benefits. A
strong case could be made to adopt this
technique as part of the defensive indepth strategy for most regulated industries and high-risk IT environments that
collect, process, store and transmit personally identifiable information or other
sensitive data.
It is possible to conclude that an after-action review of emerging stealth
and collateral damage of recent cyber-attacks (e.g. the Solar Winds attack
that compromised more than 18,000
government and public corporate networks) that microseg would have exponentially limited the impact of the
attack. Microseg is able to effectively
mitigate distributed denial of service
(DDoS) attacks by shutting down lower priority services and applications,
allocating optimized traffic to mission-critical applications during periods of degraded performance.
Microseg increases the speed of forensics and analysis of incidents by limiting
the size of the collection of syslogs and
analyzes anomalies that could potentially
be identified as cyber threats. Auditability of smaller data sets used for audit and
compliance assessments are welcomed
by most cybersecurity professionals burdened with " data deluge " and are " data
drunk " due to the massive amounts of
information to be reviewed.
More importantly, the path to the future of cybersecurity will likely involve
using microseg, a next-generation technology with the ability to have granular
definition of network boundaries. This
can include defining development, research, production, and segment indussecuritysales.com
