Network Segmentation is the practice of dividing a network into separate zones or subnets so that traffic between them can be controlled, monitored, and restricted. It contains breaches by preventing an attacker who compromises one segment from freely reaching others, and it supports compliance by isolating sensitive systems, forming a foundational control in data center security architecture.
