Explanation
Micro segmentation divides a network into small, isolated zones, enforcing granular security policies between workloads - so if an attacker breaches one segment, they cannot freely move laterally to others. This makes Enhanced network isolation (B) the defining benefit: each segment operates as its own trust boundary.
- A (Increased VLAN range) is wrong - micro segmentation is a security strategy, not a VLAN capacity feature. VLANs are one possible implementation tool, not the benefit itself.
- C (Higher bandwidth utilization) is wrong - segmentation adds policy enforcement overhead; it is not designed to improve throughput.
- D (Simplified user authentication) is wrong - micro segmentation controls traffic flows between workloads, which is orthogonal to how users authenticate.
Memory tip: Think "micro = small bubbles." Each workload sits in its own bubble, isolated from the rest - the benefit is always about isolation, not speed, range, or login.
