Explanation

In Cisco NFVI security architecture, the primary defense against lateral movement (an attacker moving from one compromised node to another) is network segmentation. Separates workloads (compute, storage, management, tenant networks) Prevents attackers from pivoting inside the NFVI Reduces blast radius during breaches Enforces micro-segmented virtual network boundaries WPA protects Wi-Fi, not NFVI. WAF protects web apps, not internal movement. Data encryption protects confidentiality, not lateral movement control. Thus, network segmentation is the correct solution.
