Introduction: Why Cloud Microsegmentation Must Evolve Cloud-native architectures built on auto-scaling virtual machines, platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and serverless platforms have transformed enterprise IT. However, this transformation has also expanded the attack surface and increased the complexity of east-west traffic across cloud-native and hybrid environments. Traditional security architecture and microsegmentation tools designed ... Read More

How Does Real-Time Visibility Transform Zero Trust Microsegmentation? When you first begin implementing Zero Trust microsegmentation in complex, hybrid environments, one challenge will stand out more than any other: I can’t protect what I can’t see. Traditional tools offered snapshots of traffic patterns, but those snapshots will always be outdated ... Read More

E pluribus unum, from the many, one, is the traditional motto of the United States. It conveys the idea that the original 13 states gained strength and viability through the combination of their different natures into one unified whole with a common purpose. Likewise it is for cybersecurity strategy. Organizations have invested ... Read More

Each week, new operating system vulnerabilities are disclosed. The same alerts landing in your inbox are also fueling hacker research, as they look for the fastest way to exploit these newfound system weaknesses.  We even have one vendor that is known for “Patch Tuesday” releases every second Tuesday of every ...

In my years as a network security engineer, I was often asked the question: “What is the difference between macrosegmentation and microsegmentation?” Both are components of a robust cyber defense strategy, but they serve distinct purposes within a Zero Trust architecture. Understanding Macrosegmentation Macrosegmentation refers to the creation of well-defined ... Read More
