Lateral-moving malware has infected the server infrastructure. Which of the following network changes would MOST effectively prevent lateral movement in the future?

The correct answer is C. Implement microsegmentation on the network.. Micro-segmentation helps in networking by creating “demilitarized zones” for security within one data center and across multiple data centers. By tying fine-grained security policies to individual workloads, micro-segmentation software limits an attacker’s ability to move lateral

Explanation

Micro-segmentation helps in networking by creating “demilitarized zones” for security within one data center and across multiple data centers. By tying fine-grained security policies to individual workloads, micro-segmentation software limits an attacker’s ability to move laterally through a data center, even after infiltrating the perimeter defenses.
