To ensure data is shared only with authorized parties

To protect the integrity of the network and data from unauthorized access or attacks

To improve the network’s speed and performance

To manage and store network data securely

Network Access Control (NAC)

Network Segmentation

Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

Antivirus & Endpoint Protection

To improve network speed by reducing congestion in certain areas

To simplify network design by reducing the number of connected devices

To organize the network structure and enhance security by controlling access between segments

To analyze and track network traffic patterns in specific segments

It encrypts and decrypts data transmitted across the network to ensure confidentiality

It monitors, filters, and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security policies

It scans network files and systems to detect and remove malicious software

It stores and manages copies of critical data for recovery in case of loss

To monitor network traffic, detect potential threats, and alert administrators without intervening

To monitor network traffic, detect malicious activity, and automatically block it in real-time

To analyze historical traffic patterns and store logs for later investigation

To optimize network performance by reducing congestion and improving transfer speeds

To prevent unauthorized access to a network by enforcing security policies

To authenticate and authorize devices before granting them network access

To monitor and restrict network access based on user roles and compliance status

To manage and prioritize network traffic for performance optimization

Enhanced security by restricting access between different network segments

Improved security by completely removing all security threats from the network

Better protection by isolating critical systems and controlling traffic flow

Increased speed by removing all security controls for faster communication

It provides complete protection against internal threats

It may not offer full visibility and control over IoT devices

It only works for wired networks, not wireless

It cannot manage devices outside the corporate network

Microsegmentation is for physical network divisions, while network segmentation focuses on virtual network zones

Network segmentation applies controls at the subnet level, while microsegmentation applies controls down to individual workloads or applications

Microsegmentation and network segmentation are identical concepts, only differing in implementation tools

Microsegmentation involves dividing a network into much smaller, application-specific security zones than network segmentation

It allows unlimited access to all websites

It speeds up network performance

It provides a secure encrypted connection between a device and the network

It automatically prevents malware infections on connected devices
