Insights on Overcoming Segmentation Deployment Obstacles

The rise in ransomware attacks poses global security challenges. This report examines network segmentation's role in a Zero Trust framework. Key findings include:

• Ransomware attacks have doubled in two years, with the U.S. facing the most. Successful attacks cause more downtime, data loss, and reputational damage.

• While 93% of organizations see segmentation as critical, only 30% have implemented it in more than two areas. Lack of expertise and performance bottlenecks are top obstacles.

• Those who segmented six areas can stop attacks and limit lateral movement 11 hours faster than those with one area segmented.

The report explores how software-based microsegmentation can help.
