Breaches Continue Despite Investments

Organizations invest heavily in VLANs, EDR, and Firewalls, yet breaches persist - suggesting a missing layer.

Legacy system vulnerability icon

Legacy & IoMT Vulnerabilities

Legacy IT and OT systems-including IoMT devices - are outdated and ill - equipped to withstand modern breaches.

Lateral movement icon

Attackers Exploit Lateral Movement

VLANs, EDR, and Firewalls each have limits - none were built to stop lateral movement.

HIPAA rules push segmentation to reduce lateral attack movement.

Beyond Stopping Breaches Advancing Towards Digital Resilience

Most organizations focus heavily on preventing an initial breach (firewalls, endpoint protection, etc.). However, once an attacker has gained entry, the real damage often comes from lateral movement, as threats spread across critical systems. True digital resilience means not just preventing the first intrusion, but also limiting how far attackers can move if they do get in.

Microsegmentation is the only technology to stop lateral movement. By isolating workloads, devices, and applications from one another, you ensure attackers can’t freely roam the network. This proactive approach limits the blast radius of any breach, maintaining clinical operations and safeguarding patient data—even when prevention tools are bypassed.

How Microsegmentation Outperforms Legacy Segmentation

Where Traditional Segmentation Fails
  • VLAN Limitations: Segmenting networks into broad zones doesn’t prevent lateral movement within each zone
  • EDR & NAC Alone: Reactive tools may detect threats but can still allow spread if not perfectly configured.
  • Legacy Infrastructure: Older systems remain vulnerable when segmentation isn’t granular enough to isolate them effectively.
Why Microsegmentation Works
  • Granular Control: Isolates workloads and devices, preventing malware from spreading beyond an initial breach point.
  • Universal Coverage: Protects legacy systems, IoMT devices, and modern cloud workloads under one framework.
  • Proactive vs. Reactive: Establishes “deny-by-default” policies, ensuring threats can’t move laterally.
