Modern enterprise applications are deeply interconnected, allowing threat actors to move laterally across shared networks to reach high-value targets in seconds. Yet traditional microsegmentation traps teams in endless monitoring and brittle allow-listing that breaks legitimate traffic and demands costly, disruptive network redesigns.
In this playbook, discover how Palo Alto Networks Microperimeter powered by AI Runtime Security enables phased, zero-trust enforcement to help security teams:
- Enforce Layer 7 Protection Immediately: Flip the model from restrictive allow-lists to active Layer 7 threat inspection without weeks of baseline monitoring or false blocks.
- Protect Without Network Redesign: Intercept and hairpin east-west traffic directly to hypervisor-agnostic software firewalls using lightweight modules.
- Isolate High-Value Assets First: Phased adoption lets you protect critical databases and crown jewels and scale across hybrid and multicloud environments.
- Satisfy Compliance Mandates: Deliver provable, granular zero-trust isolation required by frameworks like DORA, NIST SP 800-207, and PCI DSS.
Move from passive monitoring to active containment and protect critical workloads across your hybrid cloud.
