USA try to move laterally ,” explains Don O ’ Neil . “ But because we leverage a zero trust architecture with strong authentication , network segmentation , and application visibility , we can stop the attack at multiple levels . Even if a user ’ s laptop becomes compromised and controlled by an attacker , the hacker ’ s malware will not be able to move laterally on the network because the next generation firewalls will enforce segmentation and block any malicious traffic .” Four or five levels of security stop an intruder at the door .
