Imagine you’re a hacker. All you have to do is breach through the outer wall of a network and you’ve got the keys to the kingdom. So do you start going through lines of code looking for vulnerabilities in the programming or do you go for the easy target- humans? Humans are the weakest link in information security, and this is why hackers often target humans first when they are perpetrating a data breach. This is also why the old model of preventing people from getting into your network has evolved to the current zero trust model, in which all traffic is suspect until proven otherwise and networks are even segmented on the inside.
Network segmentation is done under the completely correct assumption that hackers will eventually get in and the goal is to prevent them from doing much damage once they do, to detect them quickly, and to get them out of there as soon as possible.
