Why Most Microsegmentation Projects Fail—And How Andelyn Biosciences Got It Right

Summary: Microsegmentation can be a crucial strategy for achieving Zero Trust security, but traditional approaches often fail due to complexity and operational disruptions. Andelyn Biosciences successfully implemented Elisity’s identity-based microsegmentation approach, allowing them to rapidly secure their networks without significant downtime or resource allocation. This case highlights the importance of visibility and policy simulation in modern segmentation efforts.

Affected: Andelyn Biosciences

Keypoints :

• Over 70% of breaches involve lateral movement; microsegmentation helps restrict access to critical assets based on identity.
• Traditional microsegmentation methods can introduce unacceptable complexity and long implementation timelines.
• Elisity’s identity-based segmentation enabled Andelyn to enforce 2,700 security policies rapidly without disrupting operations.
• The approach allows organizations to achieve visibility and enforce granular policies dynamically while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.
• Real-time insights from the Elisity IdentityGraph™ adapt security policies to evolving threats seamlessly.
