Automated Policy Creation with Zero False Positives

Challenge

Vermeer was on a mission to find a virtual airgap solution that could enhance overall security, but with a complex network and no appetite for downtime, Vermeer couldn’t rely on traditional solutions or manual approaches in an environment supporting global manufacturing operations and critical production systems.

Solution

Zero’s automated, agentless solution allowed Vermeer to quickly implement granular segmentation policies after just 30 days of learning – no false positives or operational disruptions to the systems employees rely on to support day-to-day production and engineering workflows.

We saw how simple and efficient Zero Networks was going to be. As we began that journey, we [understood] how quickly we were going to be able to deploy this, both in the PoC and in production.

Result

Zero Networks delivered the comprehensive network protection Vermeer needed without creating manual effort or downtime. The addition of network-layer MFA enabled Vermeer to protect privileged access while Zero’s real-time threat containment capabilities prevented minor breaches from spreading to the rest of the network and disrupting production-critical environments.

This gave the security team confidence they could strengthen protection while maintaining stability across a complex, always-on manufacturing network.
