Description

An Isolation Subnet is a type of subnet designed to provide enhanced security within a network by segregating sensitive systems and information.

How It Works

Isolation Subnets work by creating a separate network segment within the larger network. This segment is isolated from the rest of the network, preventing unauthorized access and limiting potential attack vectors.

Benefits

• Enhanced Security: By isolating sensitive systems, the risk of unauthorized access is significantly reduced.
• Limited Attack Surface: In the event of a breach, the damage can be contained within the isolated subnet.
• Controlled Access: Access to the isolated subnet can be strictly controlled and monitored.

Limitations

• Increased Complexity: The setup and management of isolation subnets can be complex.
• Potential for Misconfiguration: Improper setup can lead to vulnerabilities.
• Additional Resources: Isolation subnets may require additional hardware and software resources.

Features

• Network Segmentation: Isolation subnets divide a network into smaller, isolated segments.
• Access Control: They provide granular control over who can access the isolated segment.
• Traffic Monitoring: They allow for detailed monitoring of network traffic within the isolated segment.

Use Cases

• Sensitive Data Protection: Isolation subnets are ideal for protecting sensitive data, such as financial information or personal data.
