The act of moving apayment card system to a separate network locationis an example ofnetwork segmentationbecause:

Isolation for Security:Segregates sensitive systems from less secure parts of the network.

PCI DSS Compliance:Payment card data must be isolated to reduce thescope of compliance.

Minimized Attack Surface:Limits exposure in case other parts of the network are compromised.

Enhanced Control:Allows for tailored security measures specific to payment systems.

Other options analysis:

A. Redundancy:Involves having backup systems, not isolating networks.

C. Encryption:Protects data but does not involve network separation.

D. Centricity:Not a recognized concept in network security.
