Enterprise Segmentation Briefing

Segmentation rarely starts from zero. Most environments already have VLANs, firewall zones and access lists, and many have platforms bought for specific projects. What turns those pieces into one program is deciding what you protect. What you protect is the strategy, and every zone, platform and policy follows from it. Without that decision, platforms stay partly deployed and the systems that matter most can be left exposed.

The briefing gives your security and network teams a practical industry view of segmentation. You see how successful programs are structured, why they tend to stall and how organizations decide where to begin. A protect surface is the set of business critical applications and services that a segmentation policy is built to protect. The session starts from where your program is today, and throughout we relate that view to your environment. Your team leaves with a shared vocabulary and a short list of questions to settle internally before choosing where to begin.

Teams across WWT work on segmentation in many industries, on many platforms and in each domain where it is enforced. The briefing shares that perspective so your team can weigh its own choices against what has worked in other organizations. 

Topics covered

• The protect surface and the five-step method that puts it into practice
• Segmentation, access control and visibility: Why a program needs all three
• Where segmentation is enforced across user access, WAN, campus, data center, cloud and OT
• Why maturity is best viewed one protect surface at a time
• How segmentation fits within a broader Zero Trust strategy

A natural next step is the four-hour Enterprise Segmentation Workshop, which helps your team identify and sequence your segmentation priorities.

What is a briefing?

A briefing is a scheduled event with a WWT subject matter expert, typically in person or live via video conferencing, who will present an overview of topics, technologies, capabilities and market trends. Attendees have the opportunity to ask questions specific to their organization. Briefings are delivered at no cost.

Who should attend?

CISOs and security leaders, security and network architects, network engineering and security operations leads and the leaders responsible for segmentation programs. Useful whether a platform is already in place or you are still deciding where to begin.
