# NAT Gateway should be setup for the VPC

NAT helps save IP address spaces because many hosts connect to the global Internet by using a single dynamic external IP address. Private IP addresses can be reused. The security of private networks can be enhanced by hiding the internal addresses from external networks

**Instructions:**

Upload a screenshot to show that networks that contain critical data are segmented, and NAT is setup to protect these internal networks from the others.

The Frequency to run the workflow check is set to 6 months by default, please feel free to edit the same as per requirement.
