There is no question about it \u2014 security breaches are happening at alarming rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most common method<\/a> of attack? Ransomware, followed by unauthorized network access and access as a result of unsecured servers and databases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As reported by Black Kite\u2019s 2022 Third Party Breach Report<\/em>, third-party breaches leaked an estimated 1.5 billion users’ personally identifiable information (PII) last year. In addition, more than 50% of the exploited vulnerabilities were more than a year old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The data points to a couple of unfortunate facts IT administrators know too well: a) traditional segmentation methods no longer mitigate hacker threats<\/a> effectively and b) falling back on making crucial updates, patches, and policies isn\u2019t worth the risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Organizations of all types and sizes must implement microsegmentation best practices as part of Zero Trust security models<\/a> to remain protected. Today\u2019s data center, cloud, and hybrid environments require more versatile safeguarding to withstand attempted breaches than in years past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, you\u2019ll learn what microsegmentation is all about, its benefits, and how to implement the framework in your IT environment. Let\u2019s begin by clearly defining our subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
