Posted on : June 3, 2025 By Tech World Times Technology  Rate this post This article walks you through five practical steps to implement network segmentation effectively, backed by real-world use cases that showcase its value in different industries. Networks are constantly expanding across offices, cloud services, remote users, and connected devices. With so many moving parts, security gaps can easily form. Once attackers breach a weak point, they often move freely across the network, targeting critical systems and sensitive data. That’s where network segmentation comes in. It’s a practical approach to divide your network into smaller, manageable zones to control access, limit exposure, and isolate threats before they spread. But simply deploying VLANs or access rules isn’t enough. True segmentation needs planning, alignment with your business, and the right mix of technology. Step 1: Assess and Map Your Current Network Start by figuring out what’s on your network and how it communicates. Inventory Devices and Applications: List all system servers, user machines, IoT devices, cloud assets. Map Data Flows: Understand how applications and services interact. Which systems talk to each other? What ports and protocols are used? Identify Critical Assets: Highlight the systems that handle sensitive data, such as payment processing, health records, or intellectual property. Tip: Network discovery tools or NAC solutions can automate asset inventory and reveal communication paths you might miss. Step 2: Define Segmentation Goals and Policies Once you understand your environment, it’s time to set your objectives. Security Objectives: Do you want to reduce lateral movement, isolate sensitive systems, or meet a compliance mandate? Business Alignment: Segment by business unit, sensitivity of data, or risk profile-whatever makes the most operational sense. Compliance Requirements: PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other standards often require network segmentation. Example: A healthcare provider might create separate zones for patient records, lab equipment, guest Wi-Fi, and billing systems. Step 3: Choose the Right Segmentation Method Segmentation can be done in several ways. The right approach depends on your infrastructure goals and types: a. Physical Segmentation Use separate routers, switches, and cables. This offers strong isolation but can be costly and harder to scale. b. Logical Segmentation (VLANs/Subnets) Group devices into virtual segments based on function or department. It’s efficient and easier to manage in most environments. c. Micro segmentation Control access at the workload or application level using software-defined policies. Ideal for cloud or virtualized environments where you need granular control. d. Cloud Segmentation In the cloud, segmentation happens using security groups, VPCs, and IAM roles to isolate workloads and define access rules. Use a combination- VLANs for broader segmentation and micro segmentation for finer control where it matters. Step 4: Implement Controls and Monitor Traffic Time to put those policies into action. Firewalls and ACLs: Use access controls to manage what can move between zones. Block anything that isn’t explicitly allowed. Zero Trust Principles: Never assume trust between segments. Always validate identity and permissions. Monitoring and Alerts: Use your SIEM, flow monitoring tools, or NDR platform to watch for unusual traffic or policy violations. Common Pitfall: Avoid “allow all” rules between segments, it defeats the purpose. Step 5: Test, Validate, and Fine-Tune Even a well-designed segmentation plan can have gaps. Regular validation helps ensure it works as expected. Penetration Testing: Simulate attacks to check if boundaries hold. Review Policies: Business needs to change your segmentation strategy too. Performance Monitoring: Make sure segmentation doesn’t impact legitimate operations or application performance. Automation tools can help simplify this process and ensure consistency. Real-World Use Cases of Network Segmentation 1. Healthcare – Protecting Patient Data and Devices Hospitals use segmentation to keep medical devices, patient records, and visitor Wi-Fi on separate zones. This prevents an infected guest device from interfering with critical systems. Result: Reduced attack surface and HIPAA compliance. 2. Manufacturing – Isolating Industrial Systems Production environments often have fragile legacy systems. Segmenting OT (Operational Technology) from IT ensures ransomware or malware doesn’t disrupt manufacturing lines. Result: More uptime and fewer operational risks. 3. Finance – Securing Payment Systems Banks and payment providers use segmentation to isolate cardholder data environments (CDE) from the rest of the corporate network. This helps meet PCI DSS and keeps sensitive data protected. Result: Easier audits and stronger data security. 4. Education – Managing High-Volume BYOD Traffic Universities segment student Wi-Fi, research labs, and administrative systems. This keeps a vulnerable student device from spreading malware to faculty or internal systems. Result: Safer environment for open access campuses. 5. Cloud – Segmenting Apps and Microservices In the cloud, developers use security groups, VPCs, and IAM roles to isolate applications and limit who can access what. This reduces risk if one workload is compromised. Result: Controlled access and better cloud hygiene. Common Challenges Legacy Tech: Older devices may not support modern segmentation. Lack of Visibility: Hard to secure what you don’t know exists. Operational Hiccups: Poorly planned segmentation can block business workflows. Policy Complexity: Keeping access rules up to date across dynamic environments takes effort. Best Practices Start with High-Risk Areas: Prioritize zones handling sensitive data or vulnerable systems. Keep Documentation Updated: Maintain clear diagrams and policy records. Align Teams: Get buy-in from IT, security, and business units. Automate Where You Can: Especially for monitoring and policy enforcement. Review Regularly: Networks evolve- so should your segmentation. Final Thoughts Segmentation isn’t about creating walls it’s about building smart pathways. Done right, it helps you take control of your network, reduce risk, and respond faster when something goes wrong. It’s a foundational layer of cybersecurity that pays off in resilience, compliance, and peace of mind. About the Author: Prajwal Gowda is a cybersecurity expert with 10+ years of experience.

lineoff sends you deep into a very dangerous machine filled with moving saw blades so you can clean all the dust out of it. I am not sure this job would pass any sort of health and safety inspection, but given how many dangerous tasks I’ve had to do over my years of employment at various places (can’t exactly blow the whistle if you need that job to stay fed and housed, right?), I would not be surprised if there’s a couple of places out there that would put you to work doing this. Anyway, your job is to clean out small specks of dust so this fast, deadly cutting machine runs smoothly. Naturally, no one is going to lock out the machine while you do it, so expect to hop around like your life depends on it. It does not take very long before those blades start coming at you in pairs and move like someone at the controls is increasing the speed. There is a running counter at the top of the screen to let you know how many dust motes you manage to pick up before you (thankfully, comically) get gutted by one of the rushing blades. It’s not all in vain if you die in the service of your employer, though. The overall number of dust motes you pick up adds to a running total that steadily unlocks new colors for the game. So, the next employee in line can find themselves cut in half in an entirely new shade of spiffy machine. Isn’t that wonderful? lineoff is fast, frantic, and straightforward, and it doesn’t take long before it has you leaning over and tense at your keyboard as you thread yourself between the lethal hazards. Although I hope your own job is at least a little less dangerous than this. lineoff is available now (for whatever you wish to pay for it) on itch.io. About The Author

In technical fields like information technology, definitions are fundamental. They are the building blocks for constructing useful applications and systems. Yet, despite this, it’s easy to assume a term’s definition and wield it confidently before discovering its true meaning. The two closely related cases that stand out to me are “security” and “privacy.” I say this with full awareness that, in my many writings on information security, I never adequately distinguished these two concepts. It was only after observing enough conflation of these terms that I resolved to examine my own casual treatment of them. So, with the aim of solidifying my own understanding, let’s properly differentiate “information security” and “information privacy.” Security vs. Privacy: Definitions That Matter In the context of information technology, what exactly are security and privacy? Security is the property of denying unauthorized parties from accessing or altering your data. Privacy is the property of preventing the observation of your activities by any third parties to whom you do not expressly consent to observe those activities. As you can see, these principles are related, which is one reason why they’re commonly interchanged. This distinction becomes comprehensible with examples. Let’s start with an instance where security applies, but privacy does not. Spotify uses digital rights management (DRM) software to keep its media secure but not private. DRM is a whole topic of its own, but it essentially uses cryptography to enforce copyright. In Spotify’s case, it’s what constitutes streaming rather than just downloading: the song’s file is present on your device (at least temporarily) just as if you’d downloaded it, but Spotify’s DRM cryptography prevents you from opening the file without the Spotify application. The data on Spotify (audio files) are secure because only users of the application can stream audio, and streamed content can’t be retained, opened, or transmitted to non-users. However, Spotify’s data is not private because nearly anyone with an email address can be a user. Thus, in practice, the company cannot control who exactly can access its data. A more complex example of security without privacy is social media. When you sign up for a social media platform, you accept an end-user license agreement (EULA) authorizing the platform to share your data with its partners and affiliates. Your data stored with “authorized parties” on servers controlled by the platform and its affiliates would be considered secure, provided all these entities successfully defend your data against theft by unauthorized parties. In other words, if everyone who is allowed (by agreement) to have your data encrypts it in transit and at rest, insulates and segments their networks, etc., then your data is secure no matter how many affiliates receive it. In practice, the more parties that have your data, the more likely it is that any one of them is breached, but in theory, they could all defend your data. On the other hand, any data you fork over to the social network is not private because you can’t control who uses your data and how. As soon as your data lands on the platform’s servers, you can’t restrict what they do with it, including sharing your data with other entities, which you also can’t control. Both examples illustrate security without privacy. That’s because privacy entails security, but not the reverse. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. If you have privacy, meaning you can completely enforce how any party uses your data (or doesn’t), it is secure by definition because only authorized parties can access your data. Mobile Devices: Secure but Not Private Casually mixing security and privacy can lead people to misunderstand the information security properties that apply to their data in any given scenario. By reevaluating for ourselves whether a given technology affords us security and privacy, we can have a more accurate understanding of how accessible our data really is. One significant misconception I’ve noticed concerns mobile devices. I get the impression that the digital privacy content sphere regards mobile devices as not secure because they aren’t private. But while mobile is designed not to be private, it is specifically designed to be secure. Why is that? Because the value of data is in keeping it in your hands and out of your competitor’s. If you collect data but anyone else can grab your copy, you are not only at no advantage but also at a disadvantage since you’re the only party that spent time and money to collect it from the source. With modest scrutiny, we’ll find that every element of a mobile OS that might be marketed as a privacy feature is, in fact, strictly a security feature. Cybersecurity professionals have hailed application permissions as a major stride in privacy. But whom are they designed to help? These menus apply to applications that request access to certain hardware, from microphones and cameras to flash memory storage and wireless radios. This access restriction feature serves the OS developer by letting users lock out as much of their competition as possible from taking their data. The mobile OS developer controls the OS with un-auditable compiled code. For all you know, permission controls on all the OS’s native apps could be ignored. However, even if we assume that the OS developer doesn’t thwart your restrictions on their own apps, the first-party apps still enjoy pride of place. There are more of them; they are preinstalled on your device, facilitate core mobile device features, require more permissions, and often lose core functions when those permissions are denied. Mobile OSes also sandbox every application, forcing each to run in an isolated software environment, oblivious to other applications and the underlying operating system. This, too, benefits the OS vendor. Like the app permission settings, this functionality makes it harder for third parties to grab the same data the OS effortlessly ingests. The OS relies on its own background processes to obtain the most valuable data and walls off every other app from those processes. Mobile Security Isn’t Designed With You in Mind The most powerful mobile security control is the denial of root privileges to all applications and users (besides, again, the OS itself). While it goes a long way toward keeping the user’s data safe, it is just as effective at subjecting everything and everyone using the device to the dictates of the OS. The security advantage is undeniable: if your user account can’t use root, then any malware that compromises it can’t either. By the same token, because you don’t have complete control over the OS, you are unable to reconfigure your device for privacy from the OS vendor. I’m not disparaging any of these security controls. All of them reinforce the protection of your data. I’m saying that they are not done primarily for the user’s benefit; that is secondary. Those of you familiar with my work might see the scroll bar near the bottom of this page and wonder why I haven’t mentioned Linux yet. The answer is that desktop operating systems, my preferred kind of Linux OS, benefit from their own examination. In a follow-up to this piece, I will discuss the paradox of desktop security and privacy. Please stay tuned.

SwitchBot has a knack for crafting ingenious IoT devices, those little problem-solvers like robotic curtain openers and automated button pressers that add a touch of futuristic convenience. Yet, the true linchpin, the secret sauce that elevates their entire ecosystem, is undoubtedly their Hub. It’s the central nervous system that takes individual smart products and weaves them into a cohesive, intelligent tapestry, turning the abstract concept of a ‘smart home’ into a tangible, daily experience. This unification through the Hub is what brings us closer to that almost mythical dream: a home where technology works in concert, where devices understand each other’s capabilities and, critically, anticipate your needs. It’s about creating an environment that doesn’t just react to commands, but proactively adapts, making your living space more intuitive, responsive, and, ultimately, more attuned to you. The new Hub 3 aims to refine this very connection. Designer: SwitchBot Click Here to Buy Now: $119.99 The predecessor, the Hub 2, already laid a strong foundation. It brought Matter support into the SwitchBot ecosystem, along with reliable infrared controls, making it a versatile little box. It understood the assignment: bridge the old with the new. The Hub 3 takes that solid base and builds upon it, addressing not just functionality but also the nuanced interactions that make a device truly intuitive and, dare I say, enjoyable to use daily. Matter support, the industry’s push for interoperability, remains a cornerstone. The Hub 3 acts as a Matter bridge, capable of bringing up to 30 SwitchBot devices into the Matter fold, allowing them to play nice with platforms like Apple Home. Furthermore, it can send up to 30 distinct commands to other Matter-certified products already integrated into your Apple Home setup, with Home Assistant support on the horizon. This makes it a powerful orchestrator. One of the most striking additions is the new rotary dial, something SwitchBot calls its “Dial Master” technology. Giving users an intuitive tactile control that feels very familiar (think ovens, radios, car ACs), it makes the Hub 3 even more user-friendly. Imagine adjusting your thermostat not by tapping an arrow repeatedly, but by smoothly turning a dial for that exact ±1°C change. The same applies to volume control or any other granular adjustment. This tactile feedback offers a level of hyper-controlled interaction that screen taps often lack, feeling more connected and satisfying. Beyond physical interaction, the Hub 3 gets smarter senses. While the trusty thermo-hygro sensor (cleverly integrated into its cable) makes a return for indoor temperature and humidity, it’s now joined by a built-in light sensor. This seemingly small addition unlocks a new layer of intuitive automation. Your home can now react to ambient brightness, perhaps cueing your SwitchBot Curtain 3 to draw open gently as the sun rises, or dimming lights as natural light fades. Aesthetically, SwitchBot made a subtle but impactful shift from the Hub 2’s white casing to a sleek black for the Hub 3. This change makes the integrated display stand out significantly, improving readability at a glance. And that display now does more heavy lifting. It still shows essential indoor temperature and humidity, but can also pull in local outdoor weather data, giving you a quick forecast without reaching for your phone. Pair it with a SwitchBot Meter Pro, and it’ll even show CO2 levels. The Hub 2 featured two handy customizable buttons. The Hub 3 doubles down, offering four such buttons. This means more of your favorite automation scenes, like “Movie Night,” “Good Morning,” and “Away Mode,” are just a single press away. This reduces friction, making your smart home react faster to your needs without diving into an app for every little thing. It’s these quality-of-life improvements that often make the biggest difference in daily use. Crucially, the Hub 3 retains everything that made its predecessor a strong contender. The infrared control capabilities are still robust, supporting over 100,000 IR codes for your legacy AV gear and air conditioners, now with a signal that’s reportedly 150% stronger than the Hub Mini. Its deep integration with the existing SwitchBot ecosystem means your Bots, Curtain movers, and vacuums will feel right at home, working in concert. Of course, you still have your choice of control methods. Beyond the new dial and physical buttons, there’s comprehensive app control for setting up complex automations and remote access. Voice control via the usual assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant is present and accounted for, ensuring hands-free operation whenever you need it. This flexibility means the Hub 3 adapts to your preferences, not the other way around. The true power, as always, lies in the DIY automation scenes. Imagine your AC, humidifier, and dehumidifier working together, orchestrated by the Hub 3 to maintain your perfect 23°C and 58% humidity. Or picture an energy-saving scene where the built-in motion sensor, coupled with geofencing, detects an empty house and powers down non-essential appliances. It’s these intelligent, personalized routines that transform a collection of smart devices into a truly smart home. The SwitchBot Hub 3 feels like the most potent iteration of that “secret sauce” yet. It takes the individual brilliance of SwitchBot’s gadgets and, through enhanced sensory input and more tactile controls, truly deepens that crucial understanding between device, environment, and user. The best part? It plugs right into your smart home’s existing setup, communicating with your slew of IoT devices – even more efficiently if you’ve got a Hub 2 or Hub Mini and you’re looking to upgrade. Click Here to Buy Now: $119.99The post Your Smart Home Got a New CEO and It’s Called the SwitchBot Hub 3 first appeared on Yanko Design.

Despite its appearance as just another arcady sandbox game, Deliver At All Costs is shockingly story-minded. So much so, that its constant focus on narrative might deter those just looking for some dumb fun. And after seeing the narrative through to the end, I wouldn’t blame them, given how hard the game tries to be a grand tapestry of storytelling excellence. The adventure is structured into three acts, each with a unique town to explore and complete missions in. One act even features a time skip accompanied by a moment of no return. So even if you just want to ignore story and focus on acing deliveries and causing mayhem in the streets, you still have to go through some cutscenes and narrative progression to unlock the next towns and side missions.   "The majority of the side content in Deliver At All Costs isn’t very enticing." Not that the side missions are worth doing anyway. The majority of side content in Deliver At All Costs isn’t very enticing. The rewards aren’t worth it and the fetch quest design doesn’t warrant the effort. I’d only recommend going out of your way for the side content if you’re already keen on exploring the various maps. The treasure chests and small boxes hidden throughout the game give cash that is used on materials for vehicle upgrades; however, a majority of upgrades can be purchased from the main story mission rewards anyway. I expected to have fun with the vehicle upgrades, but ended up sorely disappointed in their limited application. This is because upgrades cannot be used outside of curated story missions; bummer. Not that the crane attachment or extreme hauling capacity upgrade aren’t fun to play with; they are rather fun, but exclusively used for their particular missions. Again, if you’re expected a zany vehicular sandbox with a lot of options and unlockables, Deliver At All Costs isn’t that. The reason I keep associating the game with sandbox playability is due to its map design. It has an old-school 2D Grand Theft Auto style of isometric driving. In between story missions, you’re given the leisure to roam around town freely. All of your driving and running around is done through a top-down isometric camera angle that gives the environments a nice diorama look to them, and what’s more, you can move the camera between two different angles in case it’s difficult to see something. "Speaking of scenery, there’s a surprising amount of activity going on while you’re driving around delivering stuff." All the unique shops and landmarks of this diorama give off a classic vibe well. Oh, and the soundtrack fits the setting wonderfully. Lounge jazz and instrumental surfer rock accompany your deliveries, and it rarely gets repetitive. Tying it into GTA even more is the radio, with infrequent broadcasts that add flavor lore to the setting. Each town has multiple districts, each with their own theme, which helps vary up the scenery just that much more. Speaking of scenery, there’s a surprising amount of activity going on while you’re driving around delivering stuff. NPCs go about their business, birds glide across the sky, and plenty of vehicle traffic accompany the streets. In fact, there’s often a tad too much activity. Streets are so packed with cars and people that collisions are unavoidable. "NPCs roam the streets and become aggressive when threatened." I like how populated the game is, but it’s tuned a bit too high, getting in the way of enjoyability a lot of the time. Perhaps, it would have been better balanced to up the street traffic the further you get into the game, especially since the towns progress from rural to metropolitan through the course of the narrative. At the very least, there’s an attractive mini-map with well designed labels and indicators. Navigation is aided with helpful arrows showing the way to a mission destination too. But you aren’t merely delivering parcels to a destination in a given time limit; there’s a variety of ways the game mixes up its missions. Part of the game’s initial draw is its physics-based driving, which manifests in hilarious ways. One of the first missions tasks you with delivering a truck full of rotted watermelons. The first step is to bring them to a sanitizer, then you paint them so they look presentable, all while avoiding traffic and trying not to knock them over as they roll around in the back of the truck. It’s one of the enjoyable missions in the game, and one that demonstrates the physics gameplay best. I like how the missions get progressively more wacky and clever as you progress too. You even become a UFO hunter during one late-game job. It’s just too bad the very high traffic and wonky controls hamper the overall experience. "I like how the missions get progressively more wacky and clever as you progress." The driving controls are rather simple. Just aim in the direction you want to drive and hold the accelerate button. It’s the high sensitivity of the acceleration and the hard braking and turning that contribute to a somewhat frustrating experience. The high traffic just further compounds the controls to make for a somewhat clunky driving experience. Vehicles don’t differ in how they drive either, though you really only have the one truck for a large majority of the game anyway, so it doesn’t really make a difference. And the cars aren’t great to look at either. Heck, nothing looks particularly nice in the game, especially the characters. Facial animations are frankly bad and the bland art style doesn’t make up for the graphical shortcomings. What’s worse is there’s still some pretty substantial load times in-between regions, which hurts the flow of the open-world. But the element that gets hurt from graphics the most is the mixed story. It’s hard to take the drama seriously when its presented so poorly. There’s an attempt at cinematic camera angles during cutscenes, but textures are featureless and close-ups of people’s faces are serious PS1 quality stuff. Thankfully, a handful of characters are quite likable despite what their low poly models suggest. Winston’s delivery mates have surprising depth and a good amount of backstory. And Winston himself is a fully fledged personality and someone you can imagine working with. "Winston’s delivery mates have surprising depth and a good amount of backstory." Characters like Norman are instantly likeable while Winston’s arch-nemesis and hardline boss, Donovon, is perfectly punchable. I’m also impressed with a majority of the dialogue writing. Characters speak with a down-to-earth tone and level of informality that makes them realistic, even if they look like untextured Unity assets. Going back to where I started the review, the game goes surprisingly hard on the story axis, but it doesn’t fully land for me. The wacky yet earnest tone is great, but the execution of the plot doesn’t wrap up in a satisfying way. Winston’s mysterious past and the true motives of the delivery company’s executives had so much potential for an intriguing narrative thread. But alas, the finale just kinda falls flat without the payoff that the game was teasing. "The game goes surprisingly hard on the story front, but it didn’t fully land for me." As a whole, Delivery At All Costs delivers a zany and fun, though frustrating, isometric delivery experience with a story that tries a bit too hard. I can easily see this game being a cult classic, but for a majority of gamers, it won’t deliver a truly stunning experience. If you’re looking for a game with a wacky and inventive premise that experiments a bit, and don’t mind gameplay and graphics from three generations ago, give Deliver At All Costs a try and it might just deliver. This game was reviewed on the PlayStation 5.
