Microsegmentation is an essential component of zero trust initiatives, and is defined by NIST’s zero-trust framework. Gartner defines microsegmentation as the ability to insert a security policy between any two workloads in the same extended data center. Ninety percent of enterprises migrating to the cloud are adopting zero trust, but only 22% are confident their organization will capitalize on its many benefits and transform their business. AI and machine learning (ML) have the potential to improve microsegmentation deployment and use significantly.
