Gartner Market Guide: Microsegmentation For Zero Trust And Resilience
Akamai Technologies, Friday, August 1st, 2025
Microsegmentation is no longer a nice-to-have; it's a must-have. The network perimeter is dead. In today's complex IT landscapes, attackers can move inside your defenses with alarming ease to exploit unsegmented pathways, spread ransomware, and exfiltrate data.
This lateral movement isn't just a potential risk; it's a fundamental threat that makes network security microsegmentation non-negotiable. The Gartner Market Guide for Network Security Microsegmentation clarifies why granular control is the foundation for true resilience and a robust Zero Trust architecture.

The days of simply fortifying the outer shell of your network are long gone. Today, the most damaging breaches often involve lateral movement - in which attackers move undetected from one compromised system to another within your network.
