Beyond the Firewall

Today’s enterprise networks weren’t built for the threats, speed, or complexity of 2026.
Adding more firewalls and segmentation doesn’t strengthen your posture - it tightens the bottleneck, compounds operational burden, and leaves you just as vulnerable as before.

This white paper reveals why network-centric security has reached its breaking point, and how a Zero Trust overlay architecture finally cuts through decades of accumulated complexity.

What You’ll Learn

• Why firewalls, VLANs, and topology-dependent controls create exponential operational load
• The hidden architecture tax behind segmentation projects and change windows
• Why “tightening” old security tools increases brittleness and slows the business
• How an overlay security model protects critical assets without redesigning networks
• How identity, context, and Virtual Chambers reduce blast radius and restore control
• A clear 3–5 year roadmap for modernizing security without disrupting operations

Who This White Paper Is For

• CISOs, CIOs, and security architects
• OT security & critical infrastructure leaders
• Network and infrastructure engineering teams
• Risk, resilience, and operations executives
• Anyone hitting the limits of network-based Zero Trust
