The primary security benefit of segmentation is to limit the scope of a security breach to a single segment, thus reducing the lateral movement of an attacker and containing potential damage to a constrained area. By having separate networks, an organization can enforce security controls tailored to each segment's requirements and reduce the risk of widespread network compromise.
