Network segmentation means dividing a network into separate, protected parts. In a building, for example, you put the building systems, the tenants and the guest WiFi each on their own part.
If something goes wrong in one part, it stays there. That is more secure and easier to manage. During an IT-Label audit we also look at this separation. See also IoT.
