Zero Networks, the foremost provider of zero trust security solutions, announced Network Map 2.0, a major advancement in real-time network mapping designed to help large enterprises eliminate decision paralysis, reduce blast radius, and turn visibility into immediate, enforceable action.
Network Map 2.0 capability replaces static, point-in-time visualisations that must be generated on demand with a continuously updated, living map of the enterprise.
Real-time clarity
“Large enterprises do not struggle with a lack of data - they struggle with operational risk." said Benny Lakunishok, CEO and co-founder of Zero Networks. “Hybrid environments evolve faster than teams can document them, while static diagrams and flow logs fail to show what actually matters in the moment: which assets are communicating, which paths create risk, and how far an incident can spread."
Lakunishok added: “Unlike legacy microsegmentation approaches that rely on delayed, point-in-time analysis of historical data, Network Map 2.0 operates in real time. It continuously ingests, normalises, deduplicates, and correlates network activity so the environment is always current, always mapped, and immediately actionable. The result is real-time east-west clarity, not retrospective analysis.”
Challenges faced by network traffic growth
The challenge is magnified by the growth of internal network traffic. According to the Global Data Center Traffic Infographic, east-west traffic accounted for approximately 86% of total data center traffic as early as 2020 and continues to grow as AI-driven workloads increase internal system-to-system communication (source: https://fiberdan.com/global-data-center-traffic-infographic/). This is precisely where most organisations lack visibility.
Network Map 2.0
With Network Map 2.0, security teams can see exactly what is happening across on-prem, cloud, IoT/OT, and Kubernetes environments in a single unified view. The platform highlights privileged access, high-risk ports, external exposure, and anomalous communication paths, focusing teams on what materially increases business risk instead of overwhelming them with raw telemetry.
In addition to Zero Networks automated policies, security teams also have the option to generate segmentation policies based on real-time, actual traffic patterns and then simulate enforcement before rollout to avoid business disruption. During incidents, SOC and response teams can instantly visualise lateral movement paths and blast radius, enabling faster quarantine, containment and measurable reduction of exposure.
Network Map 2.0 also provides:
- A graphical view of actual asset-to-asset communication: Network Map 2.0 validates what teams believe to be true, exposes what is not, and prioritises what matters most.
- Continuous proof of control for executives and auditors: Organisations can validate application isolation, demonstrate ring-fencing of critical systems and generate clear evidence of segmentation and Zero Trust enforcement without relying on static documentation or assumptions.
- Network Map 2.0 moves enterprises from “query and interpret” to “see and enforce”: By transforming visibility into action, Zero Networks enables smaller blast radius, faster incident containment, and stronger operational resilience.
