Use Case

Zero Trust Microsegmentation

Make least-privilege access part of your Zero Trust strategy. Elisity combines identity and risk context, policy simulation and enforcement through supported network infrastructure to help contain lateral movement across users, devices and workloads.

Explore the approaches in our Zero Trust microsegmentation comparison.

Challenges

Traditional approaches to Zero Trust microsegmentation overwhelm security teams with complex hardware deployments, multiple management consoles, and extensive policy configurations. Manual discovery and classification of devices, combined with agent deployment requirements and network architecture changes, create significant operational burdens. These resource-intensive processes often lead to incomplete visibility, failed goals for implementing least privilege access policies, and delayed implementation timelines.

Challenge

Multiple Tools, Multiple Teams

Asset information is spread across identity, endpoint, CMDB, IoT and cloud tools. Fragmented records make it harder to understand which assets need access to each other.

Elisity Solution

See assets in context

Elisity IdentityGraph combines network observations with context from connected tools to build one correlated record per asset. Use that identity and risk context to define Policy Groups for users, devices and workloads.

Challenge

Policies require ongoing review

As applications, devices and workloads change, access rules can become broader than necessary. Teams need evidence to review communication paths and refine least-privilege policy.

Elisity Solution

Turn observed traffic into policy

Use observed communications to evaluate access requirements. Elisity Intelligence proposes policies for administrator review, and simulation helps teams assess the effect of a change before they activate it.

Challenge

Critical services need careful changes

Segmentation changes can affect essential business services. Teams need a phased rollout with visibility into required traffic and a clear review process before enforcement.

Elisity Solution

Simulate, enforce and measure

Simulate proposed policy against observed traffic, review the results, and choose what moves to enforcement. Track policy deployment and Zero Trust posture as you refine access through supported network infrastructure.

Enforce and measure

Track your segmentation progress

Review Zero Trust posture and policy deployment in one place. Use the evidence to prioritize the next policy changes and measure progress as reviewed policies move into enforcement.

Zero Trust Microsegmentation FAQ

Ready to accelerate your Zero Trust architecture strategy? Get answers to common questions about how Elisity simplifies microsegmentation and enforces least privilege access across all users, devices, and workloads.
How does microsegmentation support Zero Trust?

Microsegmentation limits communication between assets to the access they need. It supports a Zero Trust strategy by applying least-privilege network policy; it does not replace every other Zero Trust control.

How does Elisity use our existing infrastructure?

Elisity programs policy into supported network infrastructure. Virtual Edge operates outside the data path, and the protected asset does not need an Elisity endpoint agent. Check current hardware and software compatibility when planning deployment.

How do we review a policy before enforcing it?

Use simulation to assess a proposed policy against observed traffic. Administrators review the results and decide which policies move to enforcement. Use the results to refine access and plan a phased rollout.

Can cloud workloads contribute to policy context?

AWS and Azure connectors bring workload tags and instance details into IdentityGraph alongside users and devices. Visibility into a workload is distinct from where network policy can be enforced; confirm the supported enforcement design for your environment.
