They lurk, spreading quietly across your network, looking for maximum access before striking. By the time the payload hits, it\u2019s too late. Zero Networks addresses this challenge head-on with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/services\/independent-software-vendors\/zero-network\/network-segmentation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">microsegmentation<\/a> and network-layer MFA.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Microsegmentation Matters&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of relying solely on perimeter defenses or application-layer controls, Zero Networks makes each endpoint its own island. Within the first week of deployment, it learns what \u201cnormal\u201d traffic looks like in your environment. From there, it automatically applies policies at the host firewall level allowing only necessary, legitimate traffic to flow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach delivers two powerful protections:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Containment:<\/strong> If ransomware infects one device, it\u2019s isolated, preventing lateral spread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adaptation:<\/strong> Abnormal or unexpected connections trigger MFA, ensuring only legitimate traffic continues.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Benefits of Zero Networks Against Ransomware&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Block-by-default:<\/strong> No protocol (RDP, SSH, databases, legacy apps) is open until explicitly needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Network-layer MFA:<\/strong> Authentication applies to all traffic, not just logins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Just-in-time access:<\/strong> Users get only the minimum required access, for only as long as necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Agentless deployment:<\/strong> No endpoint agents to manage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Microsegmentation:<\/strong> Automatic containment of infected machines.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real-World Impact&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If ransomware does find its way in, Zero Networks doesn\u2019t just rely on detection after the fact. Its microsegmentation framework ensures infected machines are quickly isolated, traffic is locked down, and the attack cannot spread further across the network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TIMESTAMPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>00:23<\/strong>\u2013 Intro: Ransomware &amp; why it\u2019s so dangerous<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>00:52<\/strong> \u2013 How ransomware spreads before firing off<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>01:29<\/strong>\u2013 Zero Networks &amp; microsegmentation explained<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>02:00<\/strong> \u2013 How Zero Networks learns normal traffic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>02:34<\/strong>\u2013 Blocking abnormal traffic with MFA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>02:43<\/strong>\u2013 Isolation of infected machines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>03:34<\/strong>\u2013 Wrapping up: How to learn more&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thinking about strengthening your ransomware defense?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact<\/a> the Insentra team today to explore how Zero Networks can help protect your organisation with microsegmentation and network-layer MFA.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Buktencia explains how Zero Networks uses microsegmentation and network-layer MFA to contain ransomware and stop lateral movement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":39002,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[294],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-zero-networks","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/53"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38926"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38926\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39324,"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38926\/revisions\/39324"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
