Journey into the Five Key Aspects of Zero Trust IAM: A Comprehensive Guide

Micro-Segmentation

Micro-segmentation, another key aspect of Zero Trust IAM, argues in favor of breaking down security perimeters into small zones. Each segment operates independently and requires separate access, considerably decreasing the chances of a network-wide breach. Basically, even if an attacker gains entry to one part of the network, micro-segmentation ensures that they cannot move unhindered throughout the system stealing data, thus minimizing potential damage.
