@alissaknight has published a great article on LinkedIn that talks about the history of segmentation and the use-cases and differences of network segmentation and micro-segmentation.
What i like about the article is that Alissa shows that network segmentation and micro-segmentation can be mutually exclusive, but can also co-exist. They do different things and they have different use-cases, which are also highlighted in the article.
The conclusion though is what i wouldn’t agree to, a Software Defined Perimeter does not solve a lateral movement problem nor will it implement Micro-Segmentation. The underlying problem of having no visibility into what to segment and how to structure your policy so it does not break applications is not solved by moving to another solution.
