Implementing Micro-Segmentation in Hybrid Clouds

A Strategy Guide for Implementing Micro-Segmentation in Hybrid Clouds

Network segmentation is a well-understood and established security practice. The problem is that it is difficult to execute in dynamic infrastructures and at cloud scale, where workloads are communicating and often migrating across segments.

Enterprise cloud customers know they need to further segment their applications and workloads in order to detect and thwart threats within their data centers, clouds or hybrid infrastructures in real time before they can do any damage.

Given all of the obstacles, it’s not surprising that most micro-segmentation projects tend to suffer from glacial implementation cycles, run up costs, tax resources, and ultimately fail to achieve their goals.

In this guide, you will learn about the pitfalls commonly encountered when implementing micro-segmentation and strategies for how to avoid them.
