The cloud, hybrid IT, and GenAI are reshaping the IT landscape, but they also are expanding attack surfaces and increasing cyber risk. Security tools already in place are falling behind, unable to keep up with new threats that have been supercharged by AI tools being used by bad actors, from criminals to hostile nation-states.

Rather than focusing solely on stopping attacks, using Zero Trust (ZT) segmentation tools provide a new line of defenses – east-west traffic visibility, microsegmentation, identity-based firewalling, and east-west traffic encryption in transit. By minimizing the impact of inevitable breaches through effective containment, agencies can maintain uptime during attacks and keep essential government services running.
