Description / Summary:

In this technical deep dive, we examine leading products for microsegmentation at the application and workload level—essential for stopping lateral movement in hybrid, multi-cloud, and containerized environments. As breaches become inevitable, these solutions enforce least-privilege policies based on process identities, behaviors, dependencies, and real-time telemetry, using host-based enforcement, AI-driven recommendations, and dynamic containment.

We cover three standout platforms:

Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation: Host/agentless visibility, AI-powered policy computation, and rapid breach isolation.

Akamai Guardicore Segmentation: Process-level kernel enforcement, automated policy generation, and Osquery threat hunting.

Cisco Secure Workload: Workload dependency graphing, eBPF ...
