Microsegmentation has a reputation as one of the highest-leverage controls a modern security team can deploy — and also as one of the most likely to get stuck. We’ve seen the same pattern dozens of times.

A team buys a microsegmentation platform after a ransomware scare, a compliance audit, or a Zero Trust mandate from above. Agents get installed, the discovery phase produces a beautiful dependency map, and then… nothing. Six months later, the platform is still running in observation mode, no enforcement policies have been pushed live, and the project is quietly sliding off the roadmap.
