Optimizing Microsegmentation Architecture with Identity-Based Security

Learn how to optimize microsegmentation architecture through this technical presentation from Network Field Day 36, where Elisity experts demonstrate a cloud-native distributed control plane approach that separates policy management from enforcement. Explore the centralized policy management platform that integrates with identity providers and maintains the IdentityGraph - a comprehensive mapping of network assets, relationships, and behavior patterns. Discover how Virtual Edge controllers transform existing access-layer switches into policy enforcement points, enabling real-time policy updates without dedicated hardware. Understand the implementation benefits for manufacturing environments with IEC 62443 compliance and healthcare settings with 405(d) HICP compliance. Dive into technical components including the identity-based Dynamic Policy Engine, machine learning-driven asset discovery, graphical policy visualization matrices, and virtual edge nodes. Master the application of zero trust principles at scale while maintaining critical performance requirements through continuous monitoring of traffic patterns and automated policy adjustments based on identity and context.
