configuring-microsegmentation-for-zero-trust
Configures microsegmentation policies to enforce least-privilege workload-to-workload access using tools such as VMware NSX, Illumio, and Calico, preventing lateral movement in zero trust architectures. Use when designing or implementing network microsegmentation as part of a zero trust architecture aligned with NIST SP 800-207.

# Configuring Microsegmentation for Zero Trust
## Prerequisites
- Understanding of zero trust principles (NIST SP 800-207)
- Knowledge of network segmentation concepts
- Familiarity with firewall and SDN technologies
- Experience with VMware NSX, Illumio, Guardicore, or Cisco ACI
## Overview
Microsegmentation divides a network into granular security zones, enforcing least-privilege access between workloads at the application layer rather than relying on traditional VLAN-based segmentation. In a zero trust architecture, microsegmentation eliminates implicit trust between workloads within the same network segment, preventing lateral movement even after an attacker gains initial access.
This skill covers designing microsegmentation policies using workload identity, implementing host-based and network-based enforcement, and validating segmentation effectiveness with tools like Illumio Core and VMware NSX.
