According to VMware, “Micro-segmentation enables organizations to logically divide its data center into distinct security segments down to the individual workload level, and then define security controls and deliver services for each unique segment.” (Lawrence Miller, CISSP and Joshua Soto, 2015, p. 21) The benefit of micro-segmentation is that it denies an attacker the opportunity to pivot laterally within the internal network, even after the perimeter has been breached. VMware NSX-T supports micro-segmentation as it allows for a centrally controlled, yet distributed firewall to be attached directly to workloads within an organization’s network. The distribution of the firewall for the application of security policy to protect individual workloads is effective as rules can be applied that are specific to the requirements of each workload. The additional value that NSX-T provides is that the capabilities of NSX are not limited to homogenous vSphere environments, but support the hetero
