Zero Networks Introduces Real-Time Enterprise Network Mapping to Combat East-West Traffic Blind Spots
Event summary
- Zero Networks launched Network Map 2.0 on March 11, 2026, offering real-time network mapping for enterprise security.
- The platform replaces static visualizations with continuously updated, actionable network maps across on-prem, cloud, IoT/OT, and Kubernetes environments.
- Network Map 2.0 highlights privileged access, high-risk ports, and anomalous communication paths to prioritize business risk.
- Security teams can simulate enforcement of segmentation policies before rollout to avoid business disruption.
- The solution aims to reduce blast radius and enable faster incident containment during security incidents.
The big picture
Zero Networks' Network Map 2.0 addresses the growing challenge of east-west traffic visibility, which accounted for 86% of data center traffic by 2020. As AI-driven workloads increase internal system-to-system communication, enterprises struggle with operational risk due to undocumented hybrid environments. This solution positions Zero Networks at the forefront of zero-trust security innovation, potentially setting a new standard for real-time network monitoring and incident response.
