Unified Visibility Across Microsegmentation and Firewall Policies with Tufin

A New Approach to Defending Against Lateral Movement

Organizations have spent years segmenting their networks, defining firewall policies, and controlling access across their environments.

Today, however, attackers are less focused on breaching the perimeter and more focused on moving laterally once inside.

When a server is compromised:

• Which systems can it access?

• Which applications can it communicate with?

• Which workloads can it reach across cloud environments?

• Are microsegmentation policies truly providing the intended protection?

The challenge is that the answers to these questions are often scattered across multiple platforms, making them difficult to identify and validate.

Hidden Access Paths Are Among the Greatest Security Risks

Firewall management, cloud security controls, and microsegmentation solutions are frequently managed by different teams using different tools.

As a result, organizations may face:

🔹 Excessive or overly permissive access rights

🔹 Increasingly complex security policies

🔹 Higher operational risk during policy changes

🔹 Undetected lateral movement paths across the environment

Centralized Visibility with Tufin and Akamai Guardicore

Through the integration of Tufin and Akamai Guardicore, organizations can:

✔ Analyze firewall and microsegmentation policies together

✔ Visualize access paths across networks, cloud environments, and workloads from a single interface

✔ Identify potential lateral movement paths

✔ Validate the effectiveness of segmentation strategies

✔ Manage policy changes in a controlled and auditable manner

✔ Operationalize Zero Trust initiatives

Zero Trust Is Not Only About Blocking — It's About Visibility

Organizations that understand where access originates, where it leads, and which security controls it traverses are better positioned to reduce their attack surface and build more sustainable security operations.

At Zero Second, we help organizations improve segmentation visibility, reduce risk, and accelerate their Zero Trust journey through Tufin and Akamai solutions.
