Deep dive into network segmentation using Fortinet and Mikrotik. Reduce attack surface and contain threats effectively. Network segmentation is a critical security practice that divides your network into smaller, isolated segments to limit lateral movement and contain threats.
This article explores various segmentation strategies, from traditional VLAN-based approaches to modern zero-trust network access. We'll discuss how to implement segmentation using Fortinet FortiGate firewalls and Mikrotik RouterOS, including practical configuration examples.
Key topics covered: - Network Segmentation Fundamentals - VLAN Configuration - Firewall Rules and Access Control Lists - Micro-segmentation - VPN and Secure Tunneling - Monitoring and Logging - Compliance Requirements
