Description: Host isolation is a security measure in networks that restricts communication between a host and other hosts within the same network. This technique is used to minimize the risk of threat propagation, such as malware or cyberattacks, by limiting interactions between devices. Isolation can be implemented through various technologies, such as VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), firewalls, and access policies. By segmenting the network and isolating hosts, a more secure environment is created where devices can operate independently, reducing the attack surface and improving security management. This practice is especially relevant in various network environments, where protecting sensitive data and ensuring operational continuity are priorities. Host isolation not only helps prevent unauthorized access but also facilitates the identification and response to security incidents, allowing network administrators to monitor and control traffic more effectively.
