Zero Networks has announced new capabilities for managing Kubernetes microsegmentation, aimed at enhancing security teams' control and oversight without the need for specialised DevOps knowledge.
By employing native Kubernetes tools along with eBPF technology, the solution provides a lightweight and unobtrusive deployment.
This enables organisations to maintain secure scaling operations while counteracting lateral movements.
Comprehensive visibility and ease of use
Zero Networks has developed a user-friendly security tool tailored for Kubernetes environments
In light of statistics indicating that 93% of organisations are engaged with Kubernetes — through either deployment, trial, or evaluation stages — and 42% prioritising security in container strategies, Zero Networks has developed a user-friendly security tool tailored for Kubernetes environments.
Their strategy offers extensive visibility to security teams without necessitating in-depth Kubernetes knowledge and aligns with DevOps best practices, ensuring continuous development without security-induced hindrances.
Yuval Goldberg, VP of Product Management at Zero Networks, remarked, “Security shouldn’t inhibit the speed of business, and Zero’s approach to microsegmenting Kubernetes is a robust technological advancement for teams frustrated by historically high friction, intrusive alternatives.”
Compatibility with existing systems
The company’s microsegmentation approach is designed to fit seamlessly into current Kubernetes operations, unlike legacy methods that often involve complex setups and partial coverage.
This compatibility allows Zero Networks to integrate without affecting ongoing cluster applications. The platform offers security teams an immediate advantage through complete visibility into cluster activities and network policy insights, ensuring compliance without business disruption, all accessible via a single interface.
Key features of Kubernetes integration
- Automated discovery of workloads, services, and dependencies within Kubernetes clusters
- Full visibility into all traffic — including east-west, north-south, and inter-cluster interactions
- Insight into user-defined network policies for immediate exposure assessment
- Centralised management for segmentation rule enforcement from a unified control point
Identity-aware microsegmentation
Zero Networks provides identity-aware microsegmentation that can be deployed in a matter of days
Zero Networks provides identity-aware microsegmentation that can be deployed in a matter of days.
The deterministic automation engine simplifies the process, removing traditional barriers to implementation. The solution is in line with CISA’s latest zero trust microsegmentation guidance.
Recently, Zero Networks received accolades at the 2025 Top InfoSec Innovators Awards for categories including Microsegmentation and Zero Trust innovation, showcasing the breadth of their zero trust security solutions aimed at all sizes of organisations to mitigate risks like lateral movement and ransomware.
Zero trust security and industry recognition
These awards highlight Zero Networks’ extensive security offerings that facilitate prevention of lateral movement and ransomware containment in Kubernetes settings without additional operational complications.
Currently, Zero Networks is conducting a four-week webinar series, Containment Island, offering security professionals the chance to win prizes, including a trip to the Four Seasons Bahamas, while earning credits and learning from cybersecurity leaders. The competition remains open until the winner is declared on November 11th.

Zero Networks, a major provider of zero trust security solutions, announced enhanced Kubernetes microsegmentation capabilities that give security teams comprehensive visibility and control without relying on DevOps expertise.
By leveraging native Kubernetes tools and eBPF technology, the Zero Networks platform delivers a minimal footprint, non-intrusive deployment that enables organisations to scale securely while preventing lateral movement.
With 93% of organisations either using, piloting, or evaluating Kubernetes, and 42% of organisations citing security as a top concern with container and Kubernetes strategies, Zero Networks has created a powerful, easy to use security tool for Kubernetes-based environments.
Comprehensive visibility
Zero’s approach gives the security team comprehensive visibility without requiring them to be Kubernetes savvy, while also aligning with DevOps best practices to ensure security isn’t creating obstacles for developers.
“Security shouldn’t inhibit the speed of business, and Zero’s approach to microsegmenting Kubernetes is a robust technological advancement for teams frustrated by historically high friction, intrusive alternatives,” said Yuval Goldberg, VP Product Management at Zero Networks.
“With this new enhancement, security practitioners can finally protect Kubernetes environments without disrupting their DevOps colleagues. Customers are consistently surprised by our ease of deployment and how simple we make a very difficult problem – and making that kind of first impression never gets old.”
Highly compatible with existing workflows
Compared to legacy Kubernetes microsegmentation options that are complicated to deploy and manage, provide only partial coverage, or require complex architectural changes, Zero Networks’ approach is highly compatible with existing workflows. By deploying seamlessly into standard Kubernetes processes, Zero Networks will not disrupt applications running in the cluster.
Security teams using Zero Networks with Kubernetes environments gain immediate value: complete, granular visibility into cluster activities and across-cluster network policy insights. Tightening security and demonstrating compliance without any disruption to the business, all from a true single interface.
Key features of Zero’s support for Kubernetes microsegmentation include:
- Automated discovery of all workloads, services, and dependencies within K8s clusters
- Comprehensive visibility into all traffic — east-west, north-south, and inter-cluster
- Insight into user-defined network policies for immediate understanding of exposure
- Centralised management to create and enforce segmentation rules from a single pane of glass
Identity-aware microsegmentation
Zero Networks delivers microsegmentation that is identity-aware and implemented in days. The company’s deterministic automation engine eliminates the complexity that has historically kept microsegmentation out of reach for many organisations.
Notably, Zero Networks supports organisations seeking to follow CISA’s new zero trust microsegmentation guidance.
Zero Networks was also recently recognised as the winner of four 2025 Top InfoSec Innovators Awards: Most Advanced in Microsegmentation, Most Innovative in Zero Trust, Groundbreaking Cybersecurity Visionary, and Market Innovator in Identity Protection.
Zero trust security offerings
These awards represent Zero’s breadth and depth of zero trust security offerings that make it possible for organisations of any size to prevent lateral movement and contain ransomware – including for Kubernetes environments – without adding operational burden.
The Zero team is currently hosting a four-week webinar series called Containment Island where contestants can compete to win weekly prizes and a grand prize – a trip to the Four Seasons Bahamas.
Security professionals can join the competition at any time to rack up points, get 0.5 CPE credits per session attended, and hear from leaders across all aspects of cyber. Join the competition, which runs until the winner is announced on Nov. 11.
