Technology Record - Issue 26: Autumn 2022

37 Microsegmentation offers multiple benefits for retailers, according to IDC’s new Microsegmentation for Commerce: Zero Trust Requires Lateral Defense white paper, which was sponsored by cloud service and cybersecurity provider Akamai. These microsegmentation solutions enable granular visibility into east and west dataflows of users, applications and workloads via software defined policies to stop bad actors from moving laterally across networks. According to the report, softwaredefined segmentation enables retailers to limit the spread of an initial ransomware infection and better meet compliance and cyber insurance requirements. Other advantages highlighted by the report include the ability to scale and enforce consistent security policies, as well as adopting and deploying new cloud services without compromising defenses.
