Zero Networks, a leading provider of Zero Trust security solutions, has announced a strategic integration with Palo Alto Networks, a global leader in cybersecurity, to deliver a comprehensive microsegmentation solution powered by hybrid mesh firewalls. This partnership combines Palo Alto Networks’ Strata Zero Trust platform with Zero Networks’ microsegmentation technology, enabling enterprises to strengthen network security with a seamless, multi-layered defense.
“By bringing these capabilities together, we provide security teams with a fully integrated, multi-layered defense that proactively reduces risk and stops lateral movement, without adding complexity to the process,” said Amir Frankel, co-founder and CTO of Zero Networks.
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, organizations are increasingly vulnerable to breaches. Microsegmentation, combined with next-generation firewalls (NGFWs), provides a robust security framework by limiting lateral movement within a network while enforcing Zero Trust policies. Palo Alto Networks’ NGFWs offer perimeter protection and deep threat inspection, while Zero Networks’ automated microsegmentation dynamically identifies assets, intelligently groups them, and applies precise security policies. This integration ensures organizations can implement Zero Trust effectively while minimizing operational complexity.

John Grady, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, emphasized the importance of simplifying security implementation: “Microsegmentation is a critical component of any Zero Trust strategy, but its complexity has historically been a barrier to adoption. The partnership between Palo Alto Networks and Zero Networks delivers robust protection while streamlining implementation.”
Rich Campagna, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Palo Alto Networks, highlighted the significance of this collaboration, stating, “With today’s threat landscape, organizations need both NGFWs and microsegmentation. Our integration with Zero Networks provides a dynamic, automated solution that enhances security for all NGFW customers.”
The integration also enables policy sharing between the management consoles of both companies, allowing security teams to enforce consistent segmentation and threat prevention policies. This approach enhances hybrid firewall platforms with agentless microsegmentation for both on-premises and cloud environments, reducing complexity and strengthening overall security posture.
By unifying microsegmentation with NGFWs, Zero Networks and Palo Alto Networks are providing enterprises with a streamlined, high-performance security solution designed to combat modern cyber threats effectively.
