Recognized for its breach containment and operational resilience capabilities, the Zero Networks platform stands out for automated microsegmentation with simple deployment that segments entire networks

ORLANDO, Fla.: Zero Networks is thrilled to be named a finalist in the 2025 SC Awards, one of the cybersecurity industry’s most longstanding and reputable award programs. As a finalist in the Best Insider Threat Solution category for the second year in a row, Zero Networks continues to prove the value of microsegmentation as a leading defense to protect against modern threats.

According to a survey conducted by Zero Networks, 74% of information technology and cybersecurity professionals agree that microsegmentation is very important or essential for cyber defense. Yet, there is a critical gap: only 12% of those respondents have implemented microsegmentation with satisfactory results. Despite microsegmentation’s proven ability to minimize attack surfaces, contain threats, and fast-track Zero Trust strategies, most organizations are unable to capture those benefits. Why? Legacy microsegmentation tools are notorious for their manual, complex implementations that can break networks, burn budgets and years, and require extensive, costly professional services and FTEs to deploy.

Zero Networks eliminates this gap with automated microsegmentation that simplifies deployment and segments entire networks – without disruption or downtime. The platform delivers dynamic, scalable protection for assets and identities across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments, adapting seamlessly as networks evolve and containing threats swiftly.

“We have a saying at Zero Networks: one compromised, all compromised. Once an attacker gets into a network, it's far too easy for them to laterally spread through that network and obtain domain admin privileges. Microsegmentation is a defense everyone needs, and our mission is to make it accessible to all,” said Benny Lakunishok, CEO and co-founder, Zero Networks. “With our continued company growth, multiple 5-star reviews on Gartner Peer Insights, and extremely high customer satisfaction levels, we are well positioned to continue this momentum and bring microsegmentation to more companies around the world.”

Zero recently announced a technical integration with Palo Alto Networks that combines Zero’s MFA-enforced microsegmentation with Palo’s Next-Gen Firewalls, enabling organizations to achieve layered defense-in-depth protection for superior defense. This powerful combination stops lateral movement, ransomware, and insider threats with precision and speed – making it the first in its class to provide comprehensive, zero trust network security to enterprises at scale.

With Zero Networks, attackers and malicious insiders have nowhere to go, even if they manage to breach your network. This approach not only stops lateral movement, but it also provides additional business value by ensuring compliance - particularly around access controls - and improving audit scores, helping pass every pen test, reducing security operations expenses, and more.

The winners of each 2025 SC Awards category will be announced in person at the RSA Conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, April 29. Contact us to set up a meeting during RSA for a closer look at Zero Networks’ effortless and effective zero trust microsegmentation solutions.
