Network segmentation is a crucial strategy in mitigating the impact of cybersecurity breaches in the smart grid because it limits the lateral movement of attackers within the network, containing the breach and preventing it from spreading to critical systems. Without network segmentation, a single compromised device or system can provide attackers with access to the entire network, allowing them to steal sensitive data, disrupt operations, or even cause physical damage. Network segmentation involves dividing the network into smaller, isolated ....
