Synopsis and overview of the session

With the threat of cybercriminals breaching their defences and then moving long distances horizontally inside their datacentres, many organizations are looking to tighten security segmentation policies. But segmentation is hard. Lack of visibility, new application architectures, existing policy complexity and increasingly heterogeneous environments mean that even small changes to security segmentation policy have a big impact on infrastructure.

So, is the answer to decouple security segmentation from the network architecture? What is required to accomplish this? What are the implications of an architectural shift?

And is it possible to increase security segmentation easier, safer, and with less cost than traditional means?

Focus Network, in partnership with Illumio, will bring IT Security leaders to open discussion to share ideas, questions and suggestions on:

• The requirements for an effective micro-segmentation strategy
• The latest micro-segmentation technologies: how they work and when to use them
• Network segmentation vs. micro-segmentation
• With so many different options, what micro-segmentation solution do you choose?
• How to ease the segmentation challenge while keeping vital applications safe
• The key steps to implementation
