Explanation

User-ID and Device-ID-Based Policies Granular Control: Policies tied to users/devices (not just IPs) enforce least-privilege access. Dynamic Security: Allows role-based access control (e.g., contractors vs. employees). Segment Networks Using Zones Attack Surface Reduction: Isolates traffic (e.g., DMZ, internal LANs) to limit lateral movement. Simplified Policies: Rules are applied between zones (e.g., "Untrusted" → "DMZ" only for HTTP).
