Abstract
Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for network segmentation of a network deployed at a customer site involves establishing a tunnel between a network device of the network deployed at the customer site and a network port of a switch of the network deployed at the customer site, when a wired device is plugged into the network port of the switch, transmitting network traffic between the wired device and the network device through the tunnel, facilitating a security operation regarding the wired device, and based on a result of the security operation, performing a network segmentation operation regarding the wired device.
