The basic idea is to segment off parts of the network, especially the most sensitive parts, and wall them off with stricter policies and tie them into a zero-trust architecture. Secure IPsec tunnels are used between CoI endpoints that encrypt data from end-to-end; outsiders cannot gain access into the CoI, and data cannot be exfiltrated out.
