In this Late Night Brew instalment, host Robert Buktencia walks through why pen testing is so challenging for many organisations and how Zero Networks can drastically improve outcomes. Pen tests often reveal broad access, weak segmentation and an overreliance on detection rather than true prevention. With complex environments, overlapping rules and missed updates, attackers or testers can move quickly once inside. Robert highlights how Zero Networks turns this around through automated controls and stronger containment.
Zero Networks delivers a streamlined approach:
- Automated microsegmentation that learns behaviour and removes manual mapping
- Rapid isolation of compromised devices to stop lateral movement
- Identity level segmentation so users only reach what they genuinely need
- MFA enforced across every protocol including RDP, SSH and WinRM
- Just in time access that opens ports only after MFA verification
Robert explains how these capabilities remove the guesswork and heavy lifting that typically make pen tests difficult to pass. The result is a more resilient environment that is far harder for testers or malicious actors to navigate.
