Results for tag: "Microsegmentation"

Microsegmentation is a form of IT security that involves the segmentation of a network into smaller, more secure segments. It is used to reduce the attack surface of a network by isolating critical assets and limiting the spread of malicious traffic. Microsegmentation also enables organizations to better control access to sensitive data and resources, as well as to monitor and detect suspicious activity. It is often used in conjunction with other security measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and antivirus software. The microsegmentation market is growing rapidly as organizations increasingly recognize the need for more granular security controls. This is driven by the increasing complexity of IT networks, the rise of cloud computing, and the need to protect against sophisticated cyber threats. Some of the leading companies in the microsegmentation market include VMware, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, and Fortinet. Show Less Read more
