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.

EMA PRISM - Microsegmentation Report

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."
