The latest research from Elisity and Omdia shows that 99 percent of security leaders want microsegmentation deployed, yet over 90 percent have protected fewer than 80 percent of their critical systems. Nearly half experienced lateral movement attacks in the past year.
Additional findings include:
- 44 percent cite comprehensive device visibility as their most critical capability gap; 69% demand identity-based controls in any modern solution.
- Microsegmentation ranks toward the bottom at 24 percent among currently deployed Zero Trust initiatives, despite ranking first among planned priorities.
- 32 percent cite cyber insurance requirements as a direct business driver for pursuing microsegmentation.
- 62 percent say today's solutions are easier to deploy than those from five years ago. Most teams are still running on legacy methods.
- Only 22 percent have hands-on experience with modern microsegmentation, pointing to an awareness gap as much as an execution gap.
