Cloud
Segmentação de rede em nuvem
The practice of dividing cloud-based network environments into distinct, isolated segments to enforce security boundaries, restrict lateral movement, and apply policy controls, typically using software-defined networking (SDN) principles. Referenced in NIST SP 800-125A and ISO/IEC 27033-6.

Why it matters
Segmentação de rede em nuvem matters because it supports clear communication in Cloud contexts for SOC Analysts, Security Engineers, and Incident Responders. It also connects to aviation training and exam language such as CISSP, CompTIA Security+, and CEH.
