ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question

Micro-segmentation creates very small, logically defined security zones-often down to a single virtual machine or container. By enforcing policies on the traffic that can pass between those individual workloads, it limits east-west movement inside the network. This containment stops an attacker or malware that compromises one workload from freely reaching others. It does not affect wireless coverage, does not merge VLANs, and does not eliminate the need for encryption; it chiefly isolates traffic and reduces lateral movement.
