Benefits of LAN ZeroTrust
Easy Segmentation
Our firewall inspired interface makes it easy to segment internal networks without the usual complexity
Easy Policy Management
Devices require explicit policies to communicate, reducing the attack surface area and preventing lateral movement.
Rapid Lockdown
If an incident were to occur, you can halt communication between devices to quarantine the infection.
Why Does It Matter?
The world has become a work-from-everywhere world. The importance of isolating and segmenting a Local Area Network (LAN) is highly critical. Even traffic on internal networks can no longer be assumed safe whether you are using a corporate, home or public network.
Ransomware and persistent threats are creating new threats for devices on the move and for the on-prem environments that are still relying on in-house servers. IoT devices are also becoming increasingly used as entry points for attackers to gain entry to a local network, this is why LAN Zero-Trust can be even more important to ensure that those devices are ignored by your primary systems.
Solution Overview
LAN ZeroTrust is not a new technology but it has become a great buzzword to be used by IT companies (including ours) and Cyber Security experts alike. HG Secure uses LAN ZeroTrust (LZT) and has a firewall-inspired interface, controlling the internal traffic has never been easier and uses a deny-by-default design.
You will find that internal devices can’t freely communicate without explicit policies in place. LAN ZeroTrust can implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) policies, this means a user must authenticate to access sensitive resources on your network.
Segment Internal Networks: Easily segment internal networks without overhauling architectures, VLANs, or other complex solutions. Devices on the LAN are isolated, meaning they cannot freely communicate with each other.
Employees working from home, co-working spaces, hotels, coffee shops, and other shared networks are protected against local network threats as LZT prevents communication, making these devices essentially invisible.
LZT policies also leverage multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities, helping to meet compliance requirements. Combining MFA with HG’s LZT also empowers organizations to develop sophisticated configurations where a user needs to MFA before a device can access the LAN.
Rapid Lockdown During a Cyber Incident: With LZT, organisations can rapidly lock down their entire LAN during a cyber incident. With the touch of a button, all communication ceases between devices on the LAN, preventing communication and lateral movement of threats.
Conditional Access to Sensitive Resources: Enforce strong access controls by requiring users to MFA before accessing restricted and high-value internal resources.
