Model Once, Represent Everywhere: UDA (Unified Data Architecture) at Netflix

Someone recently asked me about the difference between network segmentation and data segmentation after I mentioned them in a post. Both are important. Sometimes you use one method, sometimes the other, and sometimes both. And then, karma. A perfect example of data segmentation appeared on my screen a day or two later, and now I’ll share it with you.
Here’s an example of data segmentation, possibly without network segmentation. See accompanying picture.
I have multiple websites with the same hosting company. The hosting company is offering me the option of merging all of my websites under one login. That would be convenient, but it’s less secure.
At the data level, a cybercriminal must authenticate on each of the websites separately, with separate 2FA. At the network level, I have no way of knowing if the web hosting company has segmented the infrastructure, and to what degree. For some companies, detailed knowledge of the hosting company’s physical architecture is essential to good security, but for me it doesn’t matter, since I have zero confidential information stored on, or accessible from, the web servers. The worst thing a cybercriminal can do to my websites is defacement or knocking them offline.
THE LESSON
As part of your risk assessment, consider both network segmentation and data segmentation. Everything that can be accessed from the same authentication credentials is in the same data segment. The most common weakness I uncover is in granting a single Administrator account too much access.
Drawing attention to just one good quote in the article: “And it also taught many of them the importance of segmenting their networks as much as possible to contain possible damage from malware infection.”
Sadly, there’s still a long ways to go before all organizations understand the importance of not only network segmentation, but also data segmentation.
About a year ago I was at a state government industry forum (I won’t name the state) where they boasted about their ambitious goal of moving everything to the cloud and centralizing all departments’ data. In one of the breakout sessions during the Q&A period, I stood up and asked, “How are you planning to address the security risks you’re creating by total centralization?” The person on the panel who took my question said that one system they could control completely was more secure than ten or twenty systems that might have varying degrees of security. I refrained from telling them that they just admitted they sucked at project management.
