How Network Segmentation Stops Hackers In Their Tracks

Network segmentation is your last line of defense against hackers. In the old security model the goal was to keep hackers out. Unfortunately that’s no longer very realistic.

It also allows you to prevent low level employees from carelessly giving access to your company’s most sensitive data.
