Network Segmentation Penetration involves the process of dividing a larger computer network into smaller segments and testing the segments for potential security vulnerabilities. This process increases security by limiting access and reducing the attack surface, ensuring that any potential data breaches are contained within a specific segment, not allowing them to spread or attack further.
In general Network Segmentation Penetration involves;
- Identifying Vulnerabilities: Detects vulnerabilities within the network such as misconfigurations and incoherent protocols.
- Security Improvement: Increases security standards by addressing identified vulnerabilities.
- Ensure Compliance: Ensures that the company adheres to appropriate regulatory and industry standards for data security.
- Risk Management: Reduces the chances of security breaches and mitigates the impacts of cyber attacks.
