Microsegmentation in a Click: A SANS First Look
Recently, security teams have focused on the concept of zero trust architecture, which, for an organization to achieve fully, requires both microsegmentation and ZTNA (zero trust network access). Theoretically, when combining these two solutions, an organization can mitigate or prevent attacks, especially those requiring lateral movement for success. However, these projects often raise concerns that stem from technical feasibility and the delicate balance between security and user needs. This is especially true for microsegmentation, which is often considered the harder of the two to implement but also the most beneficial.
In this SANS First Look, we consider a product that challenges the notion that microsegmentation is too difficult to realistically implement: Zero Networks Segment™, part of the Zero Networks platform. A microsegmentation solution that centrally manages host-based firewalls and automates policy implementation in real time, Segment provides an agentless solution to effective zero trust. Segment installs easily into any active environment, with minimal overhead, and offers granular MFA enforcement across IT and OT networks.
"Zero Networks is a game changer. The military-grade security it delivers across segmentation, access, and user rights, makes it a new cornerstone technology."
"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."
"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."
"What we liked about Zero Networks was the the sheer simplicity of how it operates. The product simply works. It's very easy to roll out, very easy to configure, very easy to manage."
"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."
