    How can you ensure this is done? There are so many devices that need to connect to the internet and some that require access to other network devices to function.

      You basically need to employ network engineering level security - very tight firewall rules, use NAT where it’s available (IPv6 removes NAT, which ipv6 apologists will tell you is a good thing - they’re wrong, as it removes per-service level control and moves it out to per-device/per-NIC), and punch very specific holes to grant access where needed.

      Prevent north/south traffic entirely, limit east/west traffic heavily
