Limit the spread of attacks and reduce exposure by designing and operating networks with clear boundaries, controlled access paths, and monitoring aligned to critical services.

Segmentation is a business resilience control: it reduces blast radius by making it harder for attackers (or mistakes) to move from one area of the environment to another.

Outcomes

  • Reduced lateral movement and blast radius during incidents
  • Clearer control of who/what can reach critical systems
  • Improved reliability through more intentional connectivity
  • Faster containment actions (isolate segments with known impact)

Typical scope

  • Segmentation strategy based on critical services and data sensitivity
  • Controlled ingress/egress paths and remote access controls
  • Exceptions management for legacy connectivity needs
  • Monitoring and reporting of boundary violations

GenAI-enabled execution

Agents can help draft segmentation proposals, summarize exception impact, and produce “blast radius” narratives for stakeholders—guardrailed by approved architecture patterns and required human approval for connectivity changes.
