CompTIA CASP CAS-004 Question # 55 Topic 7 Discussion

Segmentation isolates the vulnerable server into a separate network segment, reducing its exposure to potential attackers. By implementing firewalls or virtual LANs (VLANs), segmentation minimizes the risk of lateral movement and external exploitation, aligning with CASP+ objective 1.3, which emphasizes implementing appropriate compensating controls to address vulnerabilities.
