The most common structural problem we see in enterprise networks is a flat network that grew over the years without ever being segmented.

What segmentation delivers

VLANs and micro-segmentation limit lateral movement and confine the blast radius of an incident to a single zone.

Where to start

Segmentation is impossible without an inventory. Start with a traffic map, define security zones, then roll rules out in phases.
