Segmentation is the division of the hybrid network into smaller, more manageable groupings of interfaces called security zones.

There are four articles that specify GDPR mandates that impact network security policy. This document will dive into best practices for each of these articles and will specify how network security policy management (NSPM) can be used to achieve and maintain GDPR compliance.

Plans for complying with the latest Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 3.2 and ensuring that the enterprise network is audit-ready is a pressing concern today.  Gartner’s recent research*on responding to PCI DSS v3.2 recommends “that instead of a goal-led approach to PCI DSS compliance, a systems-led approach is adopted, moving implementation of security controls away from a project-based approach into day-to-day application, systems and security operations.”
This paper provides information for understanding network security needs and best practices for PCI DSS v3.2 compliance.
