2026 GigaOm Radar for Microsegmentation
Zero Networks Named a Leader and Outperformer
Sharpen your microsegmentation strategy, reduce complexity, and take a more practical path to limiting lateral movement.
As organizations secure increasingly dynamic environments across cloud, on-prem, OT, and IoT, segmentation has become a foundational control for cyber resilience—but also one of the hardest to implement and scale.
In the 2026 GigaOm Radar for Microsegmentation, GigaOm analysts evaluate 15 leading vendors and outline the capabilities shaping the next generation of segmentation platforms.
Zero Networks is recognized as a Leader and Outperformer, positioned in the Innovation / Platform Play quadrant for its approach to identity-driven microsegmentation and automated policy generation.

- How leading microsegmentation platforms compare across core and emerging capabilities
- The role of automation in policy creation, enforcement, and ongoing operations
- How identity-based approaches are reshaping segmentation and access control
Why Zero Networks
Zero Networks helps organizations prevent attacks, minimize blast radius, and maintain business continuity – even when attackers get inside.
Recognized by GigaOm for innovation and execution, Zero Networks takes a different approach:
- Automated policy generation based on observed network behavior and asset context
- Identity-driven enforcement using user, device, and environment attributes
- Deterministic controls that provide precision without operational complexity
This approach enables organizations to simplify segmentation and deploy at their own pace – without the heavy manual effort of traditional models.
"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."
