Micro-Segmentation's Impact on Cloud Environments
summary
Microsegmentation enforces identity‑based least privilege across a cloud workload graph, splitting a web‑app‑db stack so web–app allowed, web–db blocked via host/hypervisor controls, Next‑Gen firewalls and cloud security groups. It rests on three components—policy enforcement, visibility, automation—and recommends a phased rollout: map application dependencies, run policies in monitoring mode, then enforce. Vendors cited include VMware NSX and Cisco Tetration, with caveats about complexity, performance overhead and need for continuous automation and AI.
