The Flat Network Is the Last Unsegmented Zone in the Enterprise
Zero Trust programs have largely completed two phases, remote access and the WAN edge, while the physical campus network remains outside continuous identity-based validation. This post examines why flat and coarsely segmented LANs persist, why VLANs and port authentication do not constitute a segmentation strategy, and how Versa Secure SD-LAN makes segmentation a property of the fabric by enforcing Zero Trust and microsegmentation at the LAN edge.
Beyond Integration: Why a Truly Unified Branch Needs Intelligent Edge, Pervasive Security, and AI-Native Operations
Piecemeal SASE creates security debt. See how Versa unifies pervasive security, intelligent edge, and AI-native operations on one platform.

Securing OT with Versa NGFW: A Practical Guide for Network Security Leaders
Operational Technology (OT) is no longer an air-gapped island. Manufacturing and distribution sites now connect Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and sensors to cloud analytics and remote vendors, which expands both capability and the attack surface. In this context, Versa’s Next‑Gen Firewall (NGFW), delivered as part of its Universal SASE platform, provides OT‑aware visibility, segmentation, continuous inspection, and zero-trust controls to protect these devices.
