D. Microsegmentation. Microsegmentation is a security technique that divides a network into smaller, isolated segments to enforce granular security policies. This design is ideal for achieving the following: Containerization of workloads with different data classification levels: Microsegmentation allows for isolating different workloads based on their security needs. Containers with different data classification levels. Streamlined policy management: Microsegmentation enables granular, policy-based controls, where security policies can be enforced at a much more specific level (e.g., at the workload, container, or even application level). Defense against APTs and other malware threats: By segmenting the network into smaller isolated segments, microsegmentation minimizes the lateral movement of threats like Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and malware. Even if one part of the network is compromised, microsegmentation helps contain the damage to that specific segment.
