An IaaS CSP wants to differentiate its IT security services to expand its business into regulated industries. Services offered should provide security granularity at the application VM level. Which…

Microsegmentation creates isolated security zones for individual workloads, such as application VMs, enabling granular control over network traffic between them using software-defined policies. This level of isolation is critical for meeting stringent compliance requirements and differentiating security services in regulated industries.

VLANs provide network segmentation at a broader level, dividing physical networks into logical broadcast domains, but do not offer the fine-grained, per-VM security granularity required.

Network segmentation is a general term for dividing networks; however, it typically refers to broader separation (e.g., subnets) and lacks the precise, application-level control that microsegmentation offers.

Security enclaves are hardware-based secure execution environments designed to protect data and code from unauthorized access or modification, not a solution for network security granularity between VMs.
