How does running applications on distinct virtual networks and only connecting networks as needed help?

The correct answer is D. It reduces the blast radius of a compromised system. A common, practical example leveraging this capability is running most, if not all, applications on their own virtual network and only connecting those networks as needed. This dramatically reduces the blast radius if an attacker compromises an individual system. The attacker…

Explanation

A common, practical example leveraging this capability is running most, if not all, applications on their own virtual network and only connecting those networks as needed. This dramatically reduces the blast radius if an attacker compromises an individual system. The attacker can no longer leverage this foothold to expand across the entire data center.
