Gartner® Research: Implement Microsegmentation to Mitigate Advanced Threats
Frontier AI has changed the math on breaches. Attackers move faster, and a single foothold can spread across an environment in minutes. That makes breach resilience — limiting lateral movement so that breaches can’t become full-blown disasters — more critical than ever.
Microsegmentation is how you get there. As a core control in Zero Trust, it contains breaches at the source and stops attackers from moving laterally toward your critical assets.
Gartner lays out a six-step approach to deploy microsegmentation, plus the use cases where it pays off first.
Read the report to learn how to:
- Control lateral movement across your hybrid environment
- Reduce risk in hard-to-modernize environments such as OT, IoT and legacy systems
- Improve breach resilience across your enterprise
