Why is network micro-segmentation necessary for operational technology?


Category: Cyber security best practices

Network micro-segmentation involves dividing an industrial network into small, isolated zones based on functional requirements. This prevents a breach in one area, such as a building management system, from spreading to more critical assets like a water treatment process. By enforcing security policies at the individual asset level, organisations can create granular boundaries that block lateral movement by attackers. Learn about the technical implementation of logical zones.
