Why Microsegmentation Is Just a Dream for Many IT Teams
Audit Issues, Policy Debt and Limited Project Scope Are Hampering Adoption. Microsegmentation has long been touted as the gold standard for restricting lateral movement by hackers. It helps lock down network traffic and reduces the blast radius of a breach. Vendors say it’s transformative, but if you walk into most large enterprises, you’ll will find…

Without pre-existing linkage…

Data sovereignty proof: How to verify controls like ‘Project Texas’
“Verification regimes work best when they serve everyone’s interests. The reporting company wants a process that does not impose too many burdens or interrupt workflow while allowing it to demonstrate compliance. Oversight bodies want hard data that is difficult to fake and indicates adherence to the regime. Finally, these systems need to be simple enough…
