Zero Networks Segment in 2 Minutes

Summary

Zero Networks Segment is an automated, agentless approach to microsegmentation that places a firewall bubble around every network asset, allowing only legitimate traffic and blocking everything else. Unlike legacy microsegmentation tools that require installing agents and manually configuring rules for each asset, Zero Networks learns all network connections, creates accurate firewall rules, and centrally applies them through the host-based firewalls organizations already own. Ports that attackers use to move laterally, such as RDP, SSH, and WinRM, stay closed by default and open only temporarily after MFA.

Key takeaways

• Microsegmentation stops ransomware from spreading by placing a firewall bubble around each asset and allowing only legitimate traffic.
• Legacy microsegmentation requires agents and per-asset manual rules, which makes it hard to scale on medium and large networks and risks breaking things.
• Zero Networks learns network connections automatically, creates firewall rules, and applies and manages them centrally on existing host-based firewalls, with no agents.
• It can secure devices on premises, in the cloud, and in OT environments.
• Lateral movement ports such as RDP, SSH, and WinRM stay closed by default, and just-in-time MFA can be applied to any asset, including legacy applications, databases, and OT devices.

Why is microsegmentation the answer to ransomware?

[00:10] Ransomware is the fastest-growing cybercrime activity, and there’s only one effective solution to prevent it: microsegmentation. Think of it as placing a firewall bubble around each asset on the network to allow only legitimate traffic and block everything else.

[00:27] Zero Networks Segment is a radically simple, automated approach to microsegmentation, and the very first to succeed at scale. Legacy solutions are notoriously complex. They require installing agents and then manually configuring rules for each asset. If you have a medium or large network, that is simply too difficult to scale, and it may well break your network.

How does Zero Networks Segment work?

[00:52] In contrast, microsegmentation with Zero Networks is radically different. It is automated and agentless, and it enables just-in-time MFA on any asset. It’s almost too good to be true, right?

[01:06] The best part: it is completely hands-off. Zero Networks learns all network connections and creates highly accurate firewall rules. It then centrally applies them on all host-based firewalls and remotely manages them to achieve full zero trust segmentation.

[01:24] We are agentless, which means deployment and scaling are blazing fast and simple. In fact, we turn your existing network into a zero trust network using the security controls you already own. You can secure any device, on premises and in the cloud, and even OT.

How does just-in-time MFA stop lateral movement?

[01:43] By default, we close all the ports attackers use to move laterally, like RDP, SSH, and WinRM, and open them only temporarily after MFA. In fact, we can apply MFA to any asset in the network, even those that couldn’t be protected before, like legacy applications, databases, and OT devices.

[02:07] Zero Networks Segment is a paradigm shift in network security. Book a demo, and we’ll prove it to you.
