Effortless Microsegmentation Powers Record Growth for Zero Networks

In 2024, Zero Networks achieved the largest year-over-year growth in company history, expanding revenue by 3x, doubling employee headcount, and setting a company record for the strongest quarter to date in net new customers and ARR – and we plan to keep the momentum alive in 2025. 

As businesses face an evolving threat landscape, Zero Networks delivers solutions that are both simple and scalable, helping organizations of all sizes enhance their cybersecurity posture without the cost or complexity of traditional network segmentation. This growth milestone reaffirms our position as a leader in zero trust security solutions, where our commitment to effortless microsegmentation has fueled our rapid success.  

Empowering Businesses with Automated Microsegmentation  

At the heart of Zero Networks' growth is our commitment to delivering microsegmentation for all. Unlike traditional microsegmentation methods that require complex configurations and manual policy management, our approach leverages automation to eliminate guesswork and reduce administrative overhead. 

With Zero Networks, organizations can achieve microsegmentation using a simple, three-step approach:  

• Comprehensive Discovery: Zero deploys in a click, automatically pinpointing assets and populating a network asset list going into learning to conduct a detailed analysis of network interactions.  
• Automated Tagging, Grouping, and Policy Creation and Management: Using the data gathered in learning, Zero Networks generates deterministic, fine-grained policies – no need for manual labeling, configurations, or rule-setting.  
• Effortless Enforcement: Zero Networks automatically segments assets once policies are in place, maintaining security without disrupting day-to-day operations.  

Zero’s record YoY growth in net new enterprise clients (4x) reinforces our ability to meet zero trust requirements across industries and support businesses of any network size from a single platform. 

Zero Networks made significant enhancements to our platform last year, including Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Firewall capabilities, new segmentation capabilities specifically designed to block lateral movement during an attack against operational technology (OT) systems, and identity segmentation capabilities.  

Driving Trust and Building Resilience Globally 

Today, Zero Networks supports customers in 22 countries, including new regions added in the last 12 months: Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, Philippines, Singapore, Africa, Spain, Peru, and Saudi Arabia. Zero Networks’ global success is validated by extremely high customer satisfaction levels, earning a net promoter score (NPS) of +76 based on a single survey question asking customers to rate their likelihood that they would recommend Zero Networks. 

The team also achieved a record customer success rate, with segmentation fully implemented in a fraction of the time traditionally expected, validating the platform’s speed and scalability across deployments of any size. 

Scott Coffey, Vice President of Global Sales at Zero Networks, captures the essence of this achievement: 

“The past year has been transformative for Zero Networks, marked by record-breaking growth, product innovation, and industry recognition. Our team's dedication to modernizing microsegmentation has contributed to significant advancements in the market’s understanding of cutting-edge solutions and has helped us build deeper trust with our customers and partners. We remain committed to empowering businesses of all sizes to achieve true Zero Trust and demonstrably improve operational resilience.” 

Preparing for What’s Next: A Closer Look at Microsegmentation Adoption 

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on what lies ahead – without losing track of today’s challenges. To better understand the current adoption of microsegmentation, obstacles to its realization, and how they can be overcome, Zero Networks recently published a report based on a survey of 262 IT and cybersecurity professionals, The Role of Network Segmentation in Zero Trust Architectures. This paper highlights that 90% of IT and cybersecurity professionals believe Zero Trust is “very” or “extremely” important for improving overall security posture. Nearly 70% agree that microsegmentation is very important or essential for achieving Zero Trust. However, just 5% are microsegmenting their networks today, uncovering a clear disconnect in the journey to Zero Trust. 

What’s caused this divergence? Possibly the fact that traditional microsegmentation solutions have largely left security leaders with the perception that microsegmentation implementations are universally never-ending, complex, and cost-prohibitive. In contrast to legacy solutions, Zero Networks’ easy-to-deploy, automated microsegmentation is highly effective at stopping ransomware, lateral movement, and insider threats, and supports regulatory and cyber insurance requirements – without the headaches of traditional microsegmentation.  

As cyber threats continue to evolve, organizations need solutions that adapt quickly and effectively. Zero Networks is committed to staying at the forefront of innovation, providing solutions that go beyond traditional segmentation methods to deliver scalable, automated security that meets the demands of modern businesses.
