Description: Guest Network Isolation is a feature that separates guest networks from the host network for security reasons. This technique is fundamental in environments where access to the network is allowed for untrusted devices, such as those of visitors or customers. By implementing isolation, it ensures that devices connected to the guest network cannot access critical resources of the main network, such as servers, printers, or databases. This separation is achieved by creating distinct subnets and configuring firewall policies that limit traffic between them. Additionally, guest network isolation helps prevent cyberattacks, as even if a device on the guest network is compromised, the potential damage is limited to that isolated network. This practice has become increasingly relevant in various sectors, including businesses, hotels, cafes, and other public places where internet access is offered to external users. In summary, Guest Network Isolation is a key strategy for protecting network infrastructure and maintaining data integrity in a world where connectivity is essential but also presents significant risks.
