Overview
What is network segmentation?
Stop lateral movement in its tracks.
Modern compute estates are increasingly complex, spanning one or multiple data centres and public clouds from hosted environments to partner networks. This means you’re having to defend a broader attack surface with ample opportunity for breaches, making prevention extremely difficult - if not impossible.
Network segmentation, or micro-segmentation solutions, enable you to quickly and easily segregate your network at a granular workload level. This is at the heart of Zero Trust security and protects your organisation by restricting the lateral movement of an attacker.
Managed network segmentation solutions from BT can help you:
- gain real-time visibility – monitor application behaviour and connections to understand what is talking to what and to identify risks
- improve breach containment – prevent lateral movement and reduce cyberattack blast radius
- secure critical assets and applications – and ensure they keep working by testing policies before enforcement.
