Microsegmentation Reviews and Ratings
What is Microsegmentation?
Gartner defines microsegmentation as the ability to insert a security policy into the access layer between any two workloads in the same extended data center. Microsegmentation technologies enable the definition of fine-grained network zones, down to individual assets and applications.
Core capabilities include:
- Flow mapping, which is the ability to gather and show North/South and East/West traffic flows and use them in the policy definition (it can present this data in a visual manner)
- Workload isolation, which is isolation from other workloads based on security policy
- Policy enforcement, including the definition of rules based on different factors
- The ability to deploy in the virtualized and infrastructure as a service environments
Some of the most frequent optional capabilities of microsegmentation technologies include:
- Automation of the deployment as part of a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline
- Integration with cloud infrastructure to ease deployment, enforce rules or automate policy updates when new assets are deployed
- Asset discovery: adjacent to the flow mapping, microsegmentation tools can show more advanced context for the assets
- Policy recommendation engine: complementary to the asset discovery, microsegmentation technology can suggest policy rules to authorize discovered flows
- Threat detection: based on threat intelligence, layer seven protocol inspection and anomaly detection
- Interoperability through direct integration with third-party products, such as a firewall, and hardware, such as switches and routers
- Internet of Things (IoT)/operational technology (OT) coverage — the solution supports microsegmentation for IoT/OT infrastructure
- Kubernetes/Container coverage — the solution supports microsegmentation for containers/K8s
