The Era of the Defender Starts Now: Control. Contain. Win.

With over $100 million raised to date and a 300% revenue surge since our last round, Zero Networks is proving that defenders don’t have to lose. Zero’s Series C milestone doesn’t just fund growth – it fuels a paradigm shift: welcome to the era of the defender. 

For years, defenders have been saddled with a crushing disadvantage. Day in and day out, they’ve faced an ever-sprawling battlefield screaming with alerts and unpredictable, relentless risks. Lateral movement – driven by everything from stolen credentials to misconfigured or vulnerable ports – remains the key factor behind most major breaches. Just one weak link can ignite a full-scale compromise, allowing attackers to spread rapidly and wreak havoc while defenders scramble desperately to contain the fallout. 

Today, we unveiled a seismic, industry-defining milestone that changes everything: The Era of the Defender starts now. The old rules of cyber have been shattered – lateral movement is blocked at every turn, and hacking as we know it will never be the same.  

What is the Era of the Defender? 

The Era of the Defender marks a fundamental shift in cybersecurity, one where defenders move from a reactive stance to a proactive posture built on powerful identity- and network-driven controls. The burden of effort no longer falls on defenders reacting to threats, but on attackers – leaving them stranded, penniless, and paralyzed in networks where lateral movement is impossible. 

This is a turning point where defenders can finally outpace and outmaneuver cyber adversaries, effortlessly stopping lateral movement. 

Automated Microsegmentation: The Crown Jewel of Network Defense 

Microsegmentation has long been praised for its effectiveness in cyber protection but abandoned because of its complexity. Only 5% of organizations have successfully implemented it. 

The Zero way is different. By harnessing advanced identity- and network-driven controls, organizations create self-defending, self-healing networks that automatically microsegment and enforce identity-informed policies. This dynamic, layered defense evolves alongside their network and instantly isolates and contains threats, blocking lateral movement and the spread of ransomware.  

Zero Networks’ automated microsegmentation creates a resilient network that reduces risk, accelerates incident response, streamlines compliance, and minimizes operational overhead.  

The best part? Zero implements in days, not years – finally making microsegmentation a project you can actually complete.  

It’s YOUR Network – Take Back Control with Zero
