Exam N10-009 topic 1 question 139 discussion

Network segmentation involves dividing a network into smaller, isolated subnetworks. This allows administrators to control access to sensitive OT devices. By isolating OT devices from the general corporate network, attackers attempting to compromise the OT system are prevented from spreading to other parts of the network. This is crucial for protecting industrial control systems and other critical infrastructure

D. Network segmentation When adding Operational Technology (OT) devices to an organization's architecture, network segmentation is essential. OT devices often have specific security and operational requirements that differ from traditional IT devices. Segmenting OT networks from IT networks helps to protect critical OT systems from cyber threats, limit the spread of attacks, and ensure that the OT environment remains secure and isolated from the broader corporate network.
