EasyChair Preprint 14935

Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected digital landscape, the protection of sensitive data has become paramount for organizations striving to comply with stringent security standards and safeguard privacy. This paper explores the critical role of network segmentation as a proactive strategy to enhance data privacy and reinforce security measures. By dividing a network into distinct segments, organizations can effectively limit access to sensitive information, reduce the attack surface, and contain potential breaches. The analysis highlights best practices for implementing network segmentation, including risk assessment, policy development, and ongoing monitoring. Furthermore, case studies demonstrate the efficacy of segmentation in mitigating data breaches and achieving compliance with regulatory frameworks. Ultimately, this study underscores network segmentation not only as a technical solution but as a strategic approach to fostering a culture of security and privacy in organizations.
