What is used to separate the physical architecture of an organization when the security controls applied by the virtualization components seem to be weak?

Using a demilitarized zone (DMZ) is an effective approach for separating the physical architecture of an organization, especially in scenarios where the security controls of virtualization components may not be robust enough. A DMZ serves as a buffer zone between an organization's internal network and external networks, typically the Internet. It allows for the placement of services that must be accessible from the outside while safeguarding the internal network from direct exposure to external threats.

By implementing a DMZ, an organization can enhance its security posture by isolating potentially vulnerable services, such as web servers, email servers, or application servers, from the internal network that houses critical resources and sensitive data. This separation helps to mitigate risks associated with weak security controls in virtualization platforms. Even if attackers manage to compromise services exposed in the DMZ, they face an additional barrier before they can access the internal network, thereby reducing the likelihood of unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Other options do not specifically address the need to separate and contain vulnerabilities related to physical architecture. For instance, honeypots are designed to lure attackers and gather intelligence on their methods, but they don't provide a structured approach to securing network architecture. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are valuable for monitoring and
