Zero Trust Segmentation
Contain the breach across the hybrid multi-cloud.
Prevention and detection are no longer enough
Unlike prevention and detection technologies, Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS) contains the spread of breaches and ransomware across the hybrid multi-cloud. It does this by continually visualizing how workloads and devices are communicating, creating granular policies that only allow wanted and necessary communication, and automatically isolating breaches by restricting lateral movement proactively and during an active attack. ZTS is a foundational and strategic pillar of any Zero Trust architecture.
Contain the breach
It seems everything has to be connected to the internet these days. Convenient to many, but a significant challenge for CISOs, security, and IT teams. IT environments are moving from on-premises to a hybrid, cloud-first, hyper-connected landscape. Digital transformation is dramatically expanding the attack surface, and attacks like ransomware are more pervasive than ever. In the past two years alone, 76% of organizations were attacked by ransomware, and ransomware attacks occur every 11 seconds. All these factors are increasing risk.

Breaches are inevitable. Disasters don't have to be.
Modern hybrid IT is messy, and it creates new risks every day. The sprawl of hybrid IT is introducing significant gaps in the attack surface. Attackers are feasting on a landscape of multiple clouds, endpoints, data centers, containers, VMs, mainframes, production and development environments, OT and IT, and whatever lies around the corner.
All these apps and systems are continually creating new attack vectors as they communicate with each other, and with the internet, in ways you might never have imagined...but attackers have. This relatively new interconnectivity is how attacks move quickly from the initial breach to their ultimate target.
A history of Zero Trust Segmentation
2000s and 2010s
The tools traditionally used for security cannot solve this new problem. In the prevention era of the early 2000s, the ethos was “keep them out” by building a moat. However, a series of high-profile breaches in the early 2010s highlighted the fact that attackers move fast and leverage new attack vectors and led to the detection era and a mantra of "find them quickly."
Prevention and detection tools like firewalls, EDRs, or SIEM only give surface-level visibility into traffic flows that connect these applications, systems, and devices that are communicating across IT. They were not built to contain and stop the spread of breaches.
2020s and beyond
The movement to Zero Trust and containment is fueling a tectonic shift in security approaches and technologies we haven’t seen for over a decade. We’ve now entered the new era of containment. Since the attack surface continues to rise in complexity, organizations are rapidly embracing the Zero Trust principle of “assume breach” — changing the focus to stopping the spread and minimizing the impact of a breach.
It’s time for a new approach and technology which moves us from the “find and fix” mindset to the ”limit and contain” reality and applies the principles of Zero Trust to focus on breach containment, not just prevention and detection.
