Six “Key Takeaways” from Forrester’s “Microsegmentation Solutions Landscape, Q2 2024” report
6 June 2024
The Zero Networks blog post titled 6 Zero Trust Learnings from Forrester on Microsegmentation Solutions explores the key lessons learned from a Forrester study on Microsegmentation and the Zero Trust approach:
- Zero Trust Model: The Zero Trust model is based on the idea that organizations should stop implicitly trusting resources within their network and instead adopt a “never trust, always verify” approach. Microsegmentation is and must be considered as a fundamental component of this model
- Microsegmentation: Microsegmentation divides the network into smaller segments, allowing specific security policies to be applied to each segment. This reduces the attack surface and limits lateral threat propagation
- Forrester Insights:
- Visibility: Microsegmentation provides greater visibility into network traffic, enabling the detection of anomalous behavior
- Granular Control: The ability to apply security policies at the application or user level is crucial
- Automation: Automation simplifies microsegmentation management
- Integration with Zero Trust: Microsegmentation should be an integral part of a Zero Trust strategy
- Continuous Assessment: Constantly monitor and update microsegmentation policies
- IoT Device Security: Microsegmentation can help protect IoT devices
In summary, Microsegmentation reduces breach risk, improves compliance and streamlines security management!
