This can be achieved by establishing specific security controls and policies for each segment.<\/p><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">The purpose of all this is to improve network performance, simplify management, and contain potential threats within a specific part of the network, preventing them from spreading to other areas.<\/p><h2 class=\"heading-xl text-primary\" id=\"how-does-network-segmentation-work\">How does network segmentation work?<\/h2><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Dividing a network into smaller, manageable parts is no simple task, especially when the network itself is quite expansive\u2014it takes careful planning, IT know-how, and the right resources. The idea is to have elements like the client database, email servers, company website, guest Wi-Fi, and internal applications as independent parts of the network.<\/p><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Enterprise network segmentation starts with figuring out how to divide the network based on criteria like function, security needs, or business requirements. After that, you use a mix of hardware (routers, switches, and firewalls) and software (virtual LANs, cloud technologies) to break the network into segments and control how traffic flows between them.<\/p><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Once you\u2019ve got the segments set up, the next step is to monitor and manage each of them, which can be made easier with tools like security information and event management (SIEM) solutions.<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"network-segmentation-and-zero-trust\">Network segmentation and zero trust <\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Network segmentation is key to how companies manage access to their digital resources. Back in the day, companies used to follow the \u201cassumed trust\u201d principle\u2014the idea that everyone in the company was a good guy, and therefore, could be trusted with access to all company data and services.<\/p><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">However, after thousands of human errors and security breaches caused by bad actors, companies have shifted to the zero-trust model. This approach assumes that no one should automatically have full access to the company\u2019s network and virtual assets. Instead, they must be verified and granted access only to the resources they actually need.<\/p><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">To make this a reality, companies use a few different strategies, with network segmentation being one of them. How so? Zero-trust network segmentation refers to IT teams creating dedicated subnetworks for specific groups of users, ensuring they cannot move beyond their designated limits. This adds an extra layer of defense and aligns with the \u201cnever trust, always verify\u201d motto of zero trust. Each subnetwork functions as a secure zone, with access protected by authorization protocols.<\/p><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">And if you combine all of this with identity and access management (IAM) solutions to securely manage user credentials, and network access control (NAC) tools that restrict access based on user or device authentication, you&#8217;ve got yourself a solid system for keeping the network running smoothly while minimizing risk.<\/p><h2 class=\"heading-xl text-primary\" id=\"the-benefits-of-network-segmentation\">The benefits of network segmentation<\/h2><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">At this point, you\u2019ve probably got a good idea of the advantages that come with dividing your company network into smaller segments. However, if you&#8217;re not sure you\u2019ve caught all of them, here\u2019s a rundown of the best examples of network segmentation benefits for you:<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"enhanced-cybersecurity\">Enhanced cybersecurity<\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Network segmentation helps prevent cyberattacks from spreading across the entire company network. For example, if malware infiltrates a subnetwork, it cannot easily spread to other parts of the network, thereby reducing the potential damage and facilitating a quicker response. Similarly, if someone makes an error and accidentally puts systems at risk, the problem remains confined to the parts of the network they had access to. This makes it much easier to identify the issue and resolve it.<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"improved-compliance\">Improved compliance<\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Complying with policies and regulations like HIPAA and GDPR can feel like a lot of work, but network segmentation can make things easier. By breaking up the network into smaller, more secure sections, businesses can isolate sensitive data in specific virtual environments\u2014only accessible to the right people. Plus, by controlling how data moves between these subnetworks, it becomes a lot easier to demonstrate that you&#8217;re meeting compliance requirements during audits.<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"increased-performance\">Increased performance<\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">By dividing the network into smaller segments, a company can avoid network congestion, which occurs when a network carries more data than it can handle. This can lead to slow internet speeds, buffering during streams, video call glitches, and difficulty accessing company resources when needed\u2014ultimately affecting employee performance. Keeping network congestion low helps ensure smoother online operations and prevents downtime.<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"facilitated-incident-response\">Facilitated incident response<\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">When dealing with smaller segments of the network, it becomes much easier to spot where an incident is happening. From there, that specific area can be isolated to keep the issue from spreading. Since the rest of the network stays secure and there\u2019s a smaller scope to investigate, IT security teams can focus on the affected area and get to the root of the problem much faster.<\/p><h2 class=\"heading-xl text-primary\" id=\"how-to-implement-network-segmentation-in-your-organization\">How to implement network segmentation in your organization<\/h2><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Before you start breaking your company network into smaller segments, it\u2019s a good idea to get familiar with some network segmentation best practices. That way, you\u2019ll head into the project with confidence and a solid game plan\u2014setting yourself up for a smoother process and better results. Here are a few key things to keep in mind.<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"don\u2019t-oversegment-or-undersegment-your-network\">Don\u2019t oversegment or undersegment your network<\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">As you read this article, you might get the impression that the more you segment your network, the better. But that\u2019s not quite true. If you go too far, your employees will end up dealing with too many access points, leading to user fatigue, slower workflows, and traffic bottlenecks.<\/p><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">On the other hand, if you don\u2019t segment enough\u2014say, only into 3 or 4 subnetworks\u2014you won\u2019t get the security benefits we talked about. This means your attack surface will still be pretty wide. So, the key here is finding the right balance. Effective network segmentation is about finding that sweet spot in how many parts your company network really needs.<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"follow-the-zero\u2013trust-principle\">Follow the zero\u2013trust principle<\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Like we mentioned earlier, keeping your network segmentation secure means sticking to a strict zero-trust policy. In simple terms, no one gets an easy pass\u2014regardless of their role or how long they\u2019ve been with the company. Everyone needs to go through proper authentication before accessing any resources. It may sound tough, but it\u2019s one of the best ways to protect your network segmentation operations and stay in control of who can access what.<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"minimize-third-party-entry-points\">Minimize third-party entry points<\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Chances are, your organization relies on at least a few third-party tools and services to keep things running smoothly. Since these platforms are part of your IT ecosystem, they can also become entry points for cybercriminals if compromised. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to keep their access limited. Don\u2019t give third-party solutions more reach than they really need. A good way to do this is by setting up dedicated access points that connect them only to specific segments of your network. That way, even if something goes wrong on their end, the issue will not spread easily into your company network.<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"protect-all-endpoints\">Protect all endpoints<\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">As an employer, you\u2019re providing your team with devices, business accounts, and access to company data. With that comes the responsibility of making sure what you provide can\u2019t be used against your company, and that each employee\u2019s device and account are properly protected.<\/p><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">That includes giving employees access to the right subnetworks\u2014but it doesn\u2019t stop there. You also need to use antivirus software and monitoring tools to ensure only authorized devices get through\u2014so that, much like in Homer\u2019s Iliad, you\u2019re not inviting in modern-day Trojan horses, which could bring chaos once inside.<\/p><h3 class=\"heading-lg text-primary\" id=\"monitor-all-your-subnetworks\">Monitor all your subnetworks<\/h3><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">Segmenting your network is just the beginning\u2014the real work begins after that. You\u2019ve got to manage and monitor all those subnetworks carefully, making sure you have a big-picture view of the whole network while also keeping an eye on how each part is doing individually. For that, it\u2019s a good idea to use modern monitoring tools to spot any unusual user behavior or get alerted if there\u2019s a data breach, so you can quickly figure out which part of the network needs to be shut off. <\/p><h2 class=\"heading-xl text-primary\" id=\"how-nordpass-can-help\">How NordPass can help<\/h2><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">While it is not software dedicated strictly to network segmentation, <a class=\"cursor-pointer focus-visible transition-colors duration-250 ease-out underline text-success hover:text-teal-600 active:text-teal-800\" data-ga-slug=\"Link to \/enterprise-password-manager\/\" data-testid=\"enterprise-password-manager-in-na\" href=\"\/en\/enterprise-password-manager\/\">NordPass<\/a> is a tool that can help your organization control access to company resources and secure multiple endpoints to minimize the risk of a cyberattack.<\/p><p class=\"body-md-medium text-primary\">NordPass is more than just an encrypted password manager that allows teams to securely store, manage, and share business credentials, credit card details, and sensitive information\u2014it is also a cybersecurity solution for managing user access to company resources and monitoring data breaches to determine if they involve company data.
