Introduction:  Network segmentation involves dividing a network into smaller, isolated subnetworks to limit the spread of malware. By segmenting critical systems from less sensitive areas, organizations can contain a breach and prevent it from affecting the entire network. This strategy minimizes potential damage and aids in faster recovery by restricting ransomware’s ability to move laterally across systems.
