5.1.5. Network Segmentation
Segmentation Principles:
- Least privilege: Users/devices access only what they need
- Implicit deny: If not explicitly permitted, it's denied
- Zero trust: Verify every request regardless of source
Segmentation Methods:
- VLANs: Logical separation within switches
- Subnets: IP-based separation requiring routing
- Micro-segmentation: Per-workload isolation (often software-defined)
