1. A method for micro network segmentation, the method comprising:
segmenting a premises network into at least a first trust domain and a second trust domain;
determining an identity of a first device attempting to connect to the premises network;
automatically assigning the first device to the first trust domain at least partially based on the identity of the first device; and
establishing a secure connection between the first device and one or more services external to the premises network at least partially by interacting with an external service provider system via an application programming interface.
