The migration of vast amounts of data and data processing to the cloud — or more precisely, to clouds — the lack of visibility and control across complex hybrid environments and constantly growing cyber threats are arguably the biggest challenges of enterprise computing over the past years.

Network segmentation is a well-understood and established security practice. The problem is that it is difficult to execute in dynamic infrastructures, across complex hybrid networks, and at cloud scale, where workloads are communicating and often migrating across segments.

Software defined micro-segmentation is a more agile, secured option. It can be applied fast, anywhere. Especially areas where enterprise customers know they need to further segment their applications and workloads to detect and thwart threats within their data centers, clouds, or hybrid infrastructures in real time before they can do any damage.

If you’re attacked only one segment will affected, and your business can stay afloat until the segment is repaired. In an environment without micro-segmentation an attack can affect your entire business, resulting in a costly delay until everything has been repaired.
