Network segmentation divides the network into smaller, isolated zones with specific access controls. By restricting traffic between segments, it limits attackers' ability to move laterally, significantly reducing the attack surface and containing potential breaches. Other options describe benefits that segmentation does not inherently provide, such as power redundancy, eliminating firewalls, or enabling unrestricted communication.
