Zero Trust Segmentation

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.

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.
