Zero-trust architecture has been central to recent government efforts to improve cybersecurity. But to achieve this security measure’s full potential, agencies need to get the technical details right, and that begins with network segmentation.
Network segmentation acts as a barrier, just like an employee would need to use their key card to enter a different floor or hallway of their building. It’s such a critical step that 93% of IT and security decision-makers agree it’s essential for preventing attacks such as ransomware.
Part of successfully implementing zero trust is adding a stateful firewall, which monitors and even blocks network traffic that deviates from unexpected patterns — a key tool in defending against service attacks by bad actors.
Discover how a distributed service switch, a switch with integrated stateful software services, can help you get zero-trust security up and running in your agency with this quick infographic, “How to Architect a More Secure Enterprise Through Zero Trust.”
