In our last blog<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Network Segmentation: Segregating Traffic in the dying age of Perimeter, <\/strong>we discussed the importance of network segmentation at a granular level using modern era segmenting solution which can allow each segment to scale without compromising on enterprise network security. Here we discuss how intent based segmentation can help simplify enterprise private networking.<\/p>\n

Protecting the end points \u2013 That\u2019s what Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cOur discussions with numerous CIOs, CISOs, and IT engineers show that there are two end points of modern enterprise application communication, and unless we deploy protection and detection mechanisms for these two, the network security problem cannot be solved. The fact that we are having these discussions of course underlines the fact that there is no more disagreement in the industry about why the network firewall exists, and why there is a lot more to do for security than just a firewall.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The first end point is the combination of device, user, credentials, and the application client (most often an app or browser) and the second being the application server cloud or web service or micro-service. Enterprise networking teams are challenged to securely connect the modern era business ecosystem – devices, applications, users, and systems. It\u2019s becoming critically important to ensure security between each endpoint. Using a traditional firewall and routing in today\u2019s dynamic cloud ecosystem poses a significant threat to network security.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This growing need to secure endpoints necessitates changes in the way we segmented traffic traditionally. Using advanced network segmentation techniques like micro-segmentation, each individual segment is segregated further down at the application and the user levels. Segmentation extended at the edges of the network and is maintained across an enterprise network securely. So how to implement network segmentation? Enterprises use various network segmentation methods. Few common network segmentation methods in enterprises are<\/p>\n
