Challenges

  • Complexities in policy lifecycle management: Managing the lifecycle of microsegmentation policies is challenging in the ever-evolving IT environment. Dynamic workloads require continuous policy adjustments, and without robust management, outdated policies can cause security vulnerabilities. The advent of automation is promising to navigate the complexities of policy updates, but the implementation requires investments which can be a deterrent for small and medium-sized organizations.
  • Performance degradation in diverse IT environments: The microsegmentation solution market can be affected by performance degradation while operating in diverse environments such as cloud-based, on-premise, and hybrid. Furthermore, legacy infrastructures that are not optimized for such granular controls can pose challenges in implementation. Additionally, organizations may have to balance the trade-off between security and network performance, which can affect the adoption of zero-trust frameworks.
