Micro Segmentation Consulting
Micro-segmentation: Isolation at the Core
In traditional security models, once the perimeter is breached, an attacker often gains unrestricted access to internal resources. Micro-segmentation changes this dynamic by introducing granular control over internal traffic within the data center and cloud. It is a cornerstone of Zero Trust architecture that drastically reduces the impact of any potential breach.
Reducing the Blast Radius
The primary goal of micro-segmentation is to prevent an attack from spreading. We achieve this through:
- Workload Isolation: Ensuring each server or container only communicates with necessary peers.
- Lateral Movement Blocking: Stopping an attacker at the very first compromised machine.
- Process-Level Control: Protecting critical applications from unauthorized inter-system communication.
Implementation Strategy
Deploying micro-segmentation is a phased process we lead you through:
- Dependency Mapping: Understanding how applications actually communicate in reality.
- Policy Design: Creating rules based on identity and function rather than just IP addresses.
- Visibility Mode: Verifying rules without disrupting business traffic before final enforcement.
Identity-Based Access Control
In next-generation micro-segmentation, access is granted based on application and user identity. We leverage system attributes and tags, ensuring security policies follow the resource regardless of where it is deployed.
"Micro-segmentation is not just technology; it is a new visibility philosophy where security is inextricably linked to the identity of the resource."
Zero Trust Implementation Roadmap
We help your organization transition to a full Zero Trust model by:
- Identifying critical Protect Surfaces.
- Implementing micro-segmentation for the most sensitive systems.
- Automating policy enforcement across hybrid environments.
