Typical OT and IoT inherently lack visibility and are often done using manual work, hence having a large, exposed attack surface. OT systems were initially designed with little to no consideration of security, and as a result — attacks on OT Systems have risen exponentially over the past 10 years. The average cost of a cyber-attack

Micro-segmentation however is a concept that is designed and purpose-built for security. In this
In the NSX-T Datacenter, segments are virtual layer 2 domains. With NSX-T you can do VLAN based or overlay-backed segmentation. The VLAN backed segments are usually done for bridging traffic to the devices usually outside of the NSX-T deployment. Such as gateway, physical firewall, etc. In this blog, we will discuss how easy segmentation and
