Explanation
Segmentation is the best option to ensure the security of legacy badge readers that cannot be upgraded. Segmentation isolates the legacy devices on a separate network segment to minimize their exposure to potential threats. This approach reduces the attack surface by preventing unauthorized access from other parts of the network while still allowing necessary connectivity to the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
