Target audience
The session is aimed at those who are responsible for networks, infrastructure or IT architecture and want to understand how the LAN environment can evolve from static connectivity to identity- and context-based access:
The network has long relied on location, IP address, and VLAN. But what happens when users, IoT devices, OT systems, and AI agents share the same digital environment? In this session, in 25 minutes, we’ll show you how visibility, identity, segmentation, and continuous reassessment of trust, make the network an active part of a Zero Trust architecture.
How does the network know who or what is connecting, and what should be allowed?
Traditional networks are built to create fast and frictionless communication. But in a world where identities no longer just are people, it’s not enough to know where a connection comes from. The network needs to understand who or what is connecting, what context applies, and what communication should actually be allowed.
During this webinar, we shift the focus from firewalls and SSEs to the network itself. We show how visibility, identity, segmentation, and continuous reassessment of trust, make the network an active part of a Zero Trust architecture.
Zero Trust for the network isn’t about blocking more traffic. It’s about giving the right identity the right access at the right time.
During 25 minutes, you will
- Understand why network placement no longer can be equated with trust.
- See how your network can identify users, devices, IoT/OT, and other digital identities.
- Understand the difference between traditional VLAN segmentation and identity-based microsegmentation.
- See how dynamic policies can limit lateral movement when risk or context changes.
- Get an actionable plan for maturity, from inventory and identity to automation and adaptive trust.
Why should you participate?
Many organizations have segmented their network, but far fewer have linked identity, device status, and policy so that access can change as the risk changes. The session gives network and IT infrastructure professionals a practical perspective on how the network can reduce implicit trust without creating unnecessary friction for users.
Who is this suitable for?
The session is aimed at those who are responsible for networks, infrastructure or IT architecture and want to understand how the LAN environment can evolve from static connectivity to identity- and context-based access. For example, you work as a network architect, IT infrastructure manager, Enterprise Architect or technical decision-maker responsible for the digital infrastructure of the future.
