Traditional segmentation was designed for networks that stayed within a defined perimeter. Hybrid environments don’t.

As cloud workloads, remote access, and unmanaged devices expand the boundaries of the enterprise network, IP-address-based zone models struggle to keep up and the gap between what segmentation is supposed to enforce and what it actually covers grows with every infrastructure change.

This blog explores how risk-aware segmentation works differently; modelling zones by identity and device risk rather than static IP addresses, and applying policies dynamically as environments change. For security and network teams managing hybrid infrastructure, it sets out a practical framework for building segmentation that reflects the network as it actually exists today.

Read the blog to explore the practical framework network and security teams are using to build segmentation that holds up in hybrid environments.
