A Practical Approach to Securing Workloads with Cloud-Agnostic Microsegmentation

Traditional perimeter-based security has been made less relevant by the latest technologies, such as cloud, virtualization, microservices and containers. In addition, traditional network segmentation carries a significant threat surface, exposes network resources and endpoints and carries high risk. Microsegmentation is a modern network security strategy that reduces the attack surface by restricting traffic within smaller, manageable policy-based network constructs. It not only provides better security, it also helps limit north-south and east-west traffic and provides enhanced traffic visibility.
