8 Microsegmentation pitfalls to avoid

I read a nice article by Ericka Chickowski on Darkreading the other day. The article gives some great guidance on what to do and not to do when starting your segmentation journey. Here are some comments. The practice of microsegmentation takes the principles of least privilege to their logical conclusion by atomizing the isolating techniques of network segmentation. Security architects use microsegmentation to create security boundaries that can extend all the way into individual workloads by controlling East-West, or server-to-server, traffic flows between applications.

Microservices and Microsegmentation

Cohabitation is a good thing

The thing to remember is that just because dev has decided to leverage microservices does not in turn mean that the network somehow magically becomes microsegmented or that if microsegmentation is used to optimize the network service architecture that suddenly apps become microservices. Microsegmentation can be used to logically isolate monolithic applications as easily as it can microservices. Article from DZone “Micro is big these days” - The below statement is from an article showing the similarities and differences between microservices and microsegmentation.

Microservices and microsegmentation

Microsegmentation and microservices found this article on DZone and wanted to quickly share my thoughts on it. “Micro is big these days” - This statement is from a article showing the similarities and differences between microservices and microsegmentation. Of course we all know the differences, but we might have never thought about the similarities between the two approaches. Microservices are about dissecting applications to smaller units and run those units independently instead of running them in a monolithic application.
