Explain the difference between physical network segmentation and micro segmentation as they relate to cloud security.

Topic: Micro segmentation and Zero Trust Security
Overview: Explain the difference between physical network segmentation and micro segmentation as they relate to cloud security. Explain what it means to implement a zero trust security strategy. Explain how micro segmentation can support a zero trust network.

Ensure your paper complies APA 6th edition style guidelines that is 4 pages in length.

Grading criteria: Include the following critical elements in your essay:

I. Physical Network Segmentation vs. Micro segmentation: Summarizes the characteristics of each environment i.e. Briefly describe each networking environment with regard to cloud security. Describe the difference between these two networking approaches as it relates to network security.

II. Zero Trust Security. Explain the concept of Zero Trust Security. How is this model different from conventional security models? How does this model support ubiquitous security in a cloud environment?

III. Micro segmentation for Zero Trust Security: Explain how micro segmentation topology provides the foundation for implementing the Zero Trust model. Why do modern organizations need to consider implementing a Zero Trust security approach? Summarizes the need for Zero Trust in today’s cloud environment.
