Comprehensive analysis empowers business and security leaders to select the right microsegmentation tools for modern threat defense
LAFAYETTE, Colo., June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT research and consulting firm dedicated to delivering actionable insights across the technology landscape, today announced the release of its newest PRISM report, “EMA™ PRISM Report – Microsegmentation.” Authored by Christopher Steffen, CISSP, CISA, CCZT, and vice president of research covering information security, risk and compliance management at EMA, the report delivers a structured framework for evaluating 16 microsegmentation solutions shaping today’s cybersecurity landscape.
Microsegmentation is a network security technique that divides data center and cloud networks into small, isolated segments, down to individual workloads. This granular isolation enhances security by limiting lateral movement within a network, drastically reducing the attack surface. Unlike traditional perimeter-based security, which focuses on keeping threats out, microsegmentation assumes breaches can and will occur, and aims to contain them swiftly within a defined segment, preventing widespread damage.
The EMA™ PRISM methodology evaluates vendors across three dimensions:
- Product and Functionality
- Integrations and Operability
- Strength and Maturity
The report synthesizes vendor briefings, analyst insights, and public user sentiment to offer actionable, easy-to-digest profiles for each solution. It is designed to support both technical decision-makers and business leaders in selecting the right-fit solution for their environments.
For this report, the following vendor solutions were evaluated:
- Akamai Guardicore Segmentation
- AlgoSec Security Management Solution
- Aruba Fabric Composer
- Broadcom VMware vDefend Distributed Firewall
- Cisco Secure Workload
- ColorTokens Xshield Microsegmentation Platform
- Elisity Identity-Based Microsegmentation
- Illumio Segmentation Platform
- Nutanix Flow Network Security
- Ordr Systems Control Engine (SCE)
- Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud
- Tempered Airwall
- Tufin Orchestration Suite
- Zentera Systems CoIP Platform
- Zero Networks Platform
- Zscaler Private Access
The report provides a comprehensive overview of each solution along with an evaluation of key security criteria, offering organizations a practical starting point for vendor selection.
“The network microsegmentation market is not merely growing, it is becoming the foundation for robust security architectures,” said Steffen. “Organizations considering a microsegmentation solution stand to gain reduced attack surfaces, containment of breaches by limiting lateral movement, and the ability to implement granular, identity-driven policies that align perfectly with Zero Trust principles.”
