#057 - Trust Nothing and No One: Micro-Segmentation with Matt Cozzolino

In this short but sweet DCT Episode, Matt “Yette never refers to himself in the third person!” Yette and Matt “Every User is an Attack Surface” Cozzolino give a great little introduction to traditional firewalling, microsegmentation, and Zero Trust concepts in the IT world. Listening to this episode, you’ll get to hear about: The history of the security “bastion” mindset, leading to how most enterprises built their network infrastructure. What Layer 2 stretch is, what Zero Trust represents, and what microsegmentation comprises and why it’s desirable. Why Windows Firewalls (and even Linux firewalls) can “fall down” after a compromise and how microsegmentation at the hypervisor layer can be a better solution. How to inspect flows between components of an application with software tools, and how to implement microsegmentation after understanding and analyzing those flows.
