Your Microsegmentation Policy Is Not Proven Until You Test The Deny

A clean rule set is not evidence that lateral movement paths are closed

Microsegmentation only reduces blast radius when denied paths are tested from real workloads. This article presents a practical method for validating policy enforcement, identity context, failure behavior, and containment over time.

Microsegmentation Fails Quietly When Policy Drifts

The first policy is only a snapshot. Containment depends on keeping it aligned with the environment.

Microsegmentation policy can decay as applications, workloads, identities, and exceptions change. This article explains how to detect policy drift, govern exceptions, and continuously prove that lateral movement paths remain closed.
