Thats a big problem.

Network segmentation acts as a security barrier. If a hacker breaches one segment (say, the network used by your guest Wi-Fi), they are ideally contained within that segment.

Segmentation can also improve network performance. By limiting the broadcast domain (the area where network traffic is sent to everyone), you reduce congestion.

This is especially important in large organizations with lots of devices and data flowing around.

There are several ways to implement network segmentation. You could use physical separation, which means literally having separate physical networks (different cables, different switches, etc.). This is the most secure, but also the most expensive and complex. A more common approach involves using virtual LANs (VLANs), which are like creating virtual networks within your existing physical network. (Think of it as painting lines on the floor to define different areas within the same room.) Firewalls and access control lists (ACLs) are also crucial for enforcing the rules about who can talk to whom across these segments.

In essence, network segmentation is a fundamental security best practice.
