Prevent Microsoft Exchange Vulnerabilities: Priority Measures
Segmentation stops lateral movement faster than patching because attackers exploit the gap between update and restart.
Everything DarkWeb Dispatch has reported about network segmentation: 7 stories, newest first. Part of our Vulnerabilities coverage.

Segmentation stops lateral movement faster than patching because attackers exploit the gap between update and restart.

Wormable flaws bypass human interaction to spread automatically, turning a single unpatched device into a rapid network-wide crisis within minutes rather than days.

Small firms face disproportionate risk from zero-days because they lack the specialised teams that large enterprises use to manage unpatched software flaws.

Most IoT compromises bypass network defences entirely by exploiting weak physical interfaces and unpatched firmware stored in non-volatile memory chips.

Splitting your network limits damage from a single breach by creating invisible walls between devices, stopping attackers from reaching your most sensitive data.

You cannot patch every unknown flaw, but you can architect your systems so that an exploit fails to gain traction or move laterally.

PCI DSS forces organisations to treat payment data as a distinct security domain, preventing card details from bleeding into general logging systems.
