Summary

Hide ▲

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has updated its Zero Trust Maturity Model to emphasize the foundational role of microsegmentation in cybersecurity. This shift highlights the growing importance of microsegmentation as a core strategy for bolstering defenses against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. The global microsegmentation market is projected to reach $41.24 billion by 2034, driven by the need for rapid incident response and containment. CISA's latest guidance, 'Microsegmentation in Zero Trust Part One: Introduction and Planning,' provides a roadmap for implementation, but traditional barriers such as complexity and operational disruptions persist. Modern microsegmentation solutions offer automated, agentless, and identity-aware capabilities to overcome these challenges, making comprehensive segmentation more accessible and efficient. Security teams recognize the value of microsegmentation, with 96% of IT and security leaders considering it extremely or very important for cyber defense. However, only 5% of organizations are currently microsegmenting their networks, indicating a significant gap between recognition and implementation.
