Description: Network isolation techniques are methods used to separate network segments for security and performance reasons. These techniques allow for the creation of barriers between different parts of a network, limiting access and controlling data flow. Network isolation is essential for protecting sensitive information and minimizing the risk of cyberattacks. By segmenting the network, specific security policies can be applied to each segment, facilitating incident detection and response. Additionally, isolation helps optimize network performance by reducing congestion and improving data traffic efficiency. Isolation techniques may include the use of VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), firewalls, and access controls, among others. In a cybersecurity environment, network isolation becomes a key strategy for defense teams by creating secure zones and limiting the attack surface, while attack teams seek to identify and exploit any weaknesses in these isolation configurations.
