Every Acquisition Comes with Risk

IT integration takes months. The window between acquisition and full security standardization is a high-risk period — and most teams have no fast way to close it.

Merger & Acquisition Security

Contain inherited risk.

Most acquirers inherit connectivity they don't fully understand and can't safely lock down on day one. Zero Networks changes that — by automatically mapping unknown environments, enforcing containment without redesign, and keeping security current through every stage of integration. Get the deal done without absorbing the acquired entity's attack surface.

See Everything You Inherited in Minutes

Zero automatically maps every asset, identity, and communication path in the acquired environment. Before a single policy is enforced, your team has a complete picture of what you're working with — unknown connectivity, overprivileged accounts, and all.

Privileged Paths Locked Day One. 90%+ Segmented in 90 Days.

The highest-risk paths — privileged ports, admin protocols, broadly open lateral movement routes — are closed immediately on day one. Full segmentation across the acquired environment follows within 90 days. Legacy vendors take 3+ years. Your integration timeline won't wait that long.

No Redesign. No Agents. No Delay.

Zero deploys over the infrastructure that's already there — no network redesign of the inherited environment, no agent installation across every acquired device. 39× faster than traditional segmentation vendors and 16× leaner on headcount — critical when your team is already stretched across a deal.

Keeps Pace With Integration

As environments merge and change, Zero's automated policy management adapts continuously — so enforcement stays current at every integration milestone without anyone manually chasing asset changes.

The M&A Risk Window

The period between close and full integration is when you're most exposed.

Most acquirers move fast on the deal with no regard for security. Meanwhile, two networks are connected, and one of them remains unknown.

12–18 Months The average M&A IT integration timeline. Until it is complete, the acquired company’s exposure becomes your exposure.

Day 1 The day inherited risk becomes your risk. Zero closes privileged paths immediately — before the integration roadmap even gets started.

62% of executives say acquiring a new company is their biggest cybersecurity concern — and more than half have had a critical security issue put an M&A deal in jeopardy.
