How Does Vultr's Cloud Networking Infrastructure Enable Microsegmentation and Zero Trust Architecture?

Modern security frameworks emphasize minimizing lateral movement within networks and enforcing strict access controls. Microsegmentation and zero trust architecture are key approaches in this context. Microsegmentation divides a network into isolated segments, limiting the scope of potential breaches, while zero trust ensures that no user or workload is trusted by default, enforcing least-privilege access at every level.

Vultr’s cloud networking infrastructure supports these principles through:

• VPCs, which provide logically isolated networks where workloads can operate securely without exposure to other networks.
• Custom routing, which allows precise control over traffic flows between segments, ensuring sensitive workloads remain isolated from less critical resources.
• Granular firewall rules that enforce least-privilege access between segments, only allowing authorized traffic where needed.

Combined, these capabilities enable the implementation of microsegmentation and zero trust architecture, ensuring workloads are isolated, access is tightly controlled, and the overall attack surface is minimized.
