How to Build an AI-Ready Network Architecture
A Framework for Benchmarking AI Readiness
AI has collapsed the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Attackers move laterally in as little as 27 seconds, yet it takes 247 days to identify and contain the average breach. Shadow AI and ungoverned agents are already proliferating inside enterprise environments — invisible and unrestricted.
Detection and response can't close that gap. AI-enabled attackers need to be contained, not chased.
This framework maps five stages of architectural maturity against that reality, showing where exposure lives at each stage and what it takes to eliminate it. Download to learn:
- The security controls that define different stages of AI readiness maturity and what their limitations are
- The most urgent AI-specific threat exposures at each stage
- How AI segmentation addresses the gap, enabling enterprises to stay protected against adversarial AI and adopt internal AI tools confidently
"When I first saw Zero Networks, I walked away saying, this is too good to be true. When we put it in production, it was like a dream came true."
"My first impression was, it is too good to be true. The ease of deployment was shocking to me. It’s a simple and elegant solution to a very difficult problem."
"Zero Networks has become a core component of our security stack. It is something that we cannot live without any longer."
"Zero Networks is a game changer. The military-grade security it delivers across segmentation, access, and user rights, makes it a new cornerstone technology."
"I had to see it to believe it. The product was up and running in 15 minutes, it’s set it and forget it, and gives me peace of mind."
"When we ran pen tests before Zero Networks, attackers would get in within 5 minutes. Now, they cannot move laterally. It's a superb tool."
"We were having problems stopping some of the traffic in a pen test. Once we had Zero Networks in play, we were able to stop these activities."
"After [implementing] Zero Networks, we were able to lock down endpoints both on the server and on the laptops, our attack surface has decreased... incredibly."
"To do this by GPOs would have taken 300% more effort… we needed one FTE just to do this before Zero. Now, we can easily share the work."
"I would highlight the simplicity of [Zero Networks], both in the implementation and in the policy solutions that it generates for you. It's like they say in my department – it's black magic."
