These include segmentation as a key practice for isolating higher-trust workloads (eg. PCI) from lower-trust workloads (e.g. test, VDI).  Another important aspect is change control  that surfaces through multi-step provisioning cycles and  change management processes. While these practices are important to ensuring compliance and minimizing attack surfaces, there have impacted IT's ability to respond to changing business requirements.  For example, physically segmented workloads create challenges in resource utilization e.g. ...
