Microsegmentation security controls are typically based on the underlying foundations of least privilege and a zero trust architecture (ZTA). The zero-trust security model does away with the implicit trust inherent in traditional security approaches. That implicit trust was usually afforded to users within a network system, but now the prevailing zero-trust principle is to give users access to only the systems, information, and applications they need and keep them isolated from everything else. This restricts unnecessary lateral movement of data between systems and applications.
