Earlier this year, the NSA released updated zero-trust guidance in which microsegmentation is listed as a daunting, advanced endeavor, only suitable to the most mature organizations. Zero Networks is committed to challenging this sentiment. While some may hesitate, thinking microsegmentation is beyond their reach, we urge organizations to reconsider. Waiting is not an option when it comes to securing your network against evolving threats. By prioritizing microsegmentation, you're taking a proactive stance against unauthorized lateral movement, thwarting advanced attacks, and effectively blocking ransomware. Zero Networks has helped organizations of all sizes, maturity, and complexity levels to deploy our radically simple microsegmentation solution in a click, without breaking anything, and with little to no effort.
As ransomware attacks double, microsegmentation has been hailed by Gartner, Forrester, the NSA, and leading security trade media outlets, as the most promising solution for halting lateral movement and satisfying zero trust guidelines. You can’t have a zero trust architecture without microsegmentation – but you also need to implement a solution quickly, without breaking anything, and without extensive costs and complexities. Zero Networks offers exactly this solution. Zero Networks' microsegmentation solution locks down lateral movement, effectively stranding hackers and preventing them from spreading ransomware. For an added layer of security, we apply MFA authentication to the network layer, allowing organizations to protect assets that could not be easily protected by MFA before: legacy applications, databases, OT/IoT devices, mainframes, on-prem VMs, and IaaS VMs. Our just-in-time MFA also applies an additional layer of security to privileged remote admin protocols like RDP, SSH, and WinRM – commonly exploited by attackers. This also supports organizations with compliance needs. “Never trust, always verify” comes automatically with Zero Networks.
Zero Networks' microsegmentation solution provides agentless, automated, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) powered architecture. By monitoring and learning all network connections over a 30-day period, Zero Networks creates precise firewall rules that are centrally applied to all assets. This agentless architecture ensures that every asset, whether on-premises or in the cloud, including OT/IoT devices, is segmented without disrupting normal operations. One of the key challenges with traditional microsegmentation solutions is their complexity and associated costs. Forrester highlights the difficulty in quantifying the business benefits of microsegmentation due to its indirect impact on productivity and user experience. A global independent investment bank, Evercore, was undergoing the major challenge of effectively responding to an incident when a workstation was compromised, and a threat actor was able to gain access to their network to move laterally. They had firewalls, whitelists, blacklists and other measures that could slow them down but nothing that could immediately shut them down. Chris Turek, CIO of Evercore, said “Zero Networks is creating a new sphere of security capabilities.
