Zero Trust Microsegmentation
Contain a Breach to One Workload, Not Your Whole Network
A flat internal network lets one compromised server reach whatever else sits nearby on the same segment. Microsegmentation exists specifically to break that assumption.

Why the usual approach falls short
Traditional network segmentation relies on VLANs and static firewall rules that are coarse and slow to change. Identity-based microsegmentation is dynamic and applies at the workload level.
The MaskFlare approach
MaskFlare Access extends the same identity-based policy model used for user access to workload-to-workload traffic, so a compromised service can't move laterally to the next one.
Benefits
Contains lateral movement
A compromised workload can reach only what its policy explicitly allows.
No VLAN redesign
Segmentation is enforced by identity and policy, not by re-architecting the network.
Policy follows the workload
Rules travel with the service even as infrastructure changes underneath it.

Frequently asked questions
Does this replace network firewalls?
It complements them — microsegmentation adds identity-based policy at the workload level, on top of existing network controls.
Do we need to redesign our VLANs to adopt this?
No — segmentation is enforced by identity and policy, not by re-architecting the network.
What happens to policy when a workload moves, say during a deployment?
Policy follows the workload — rules travel with the service even as infrastructure changes underneath it.
How is this different from the per-application access used for VPN replacement?
It's the same identity-based policy model MaskFlare Access uses for user access, extended to workload-to-workload traffic, so a compromised service is contained the same way a compromised user session is.
