Network Segmentation
That Actually Enforces Protection.
ORDR delivers microsegmentation and NAC acceleration that moves from visibility to enforcement without disrupting operations. Built on AI-driven device intelligence, deploy policies in days and prevent lateral movement before threats spread.
What Makes ORDR's Network Segmentation Different
Most segmentation tools show you what's exposed but leave enforcement to manual work across disconnected systems. ORDR provides both intelligence and enforcement on a single platform, enabling security teams to implement macro- and micro-segmentation to stop lateral movement without disrupting production systems.
Traditional segmentation projects drag on for 12–24 months. ORDR reduces deployment timelines to days or weeks by using AI-generated policies that reflect real device behavior rather than generic templates.
Core Segmentation Capabilities
| Capability | How ORDR Delivers |
|---|---|
| Macro-Segmentation | Controls traffic between network zones and reduces blast radius during security incidents |
| Micro-Segmentation | Generates least-privilege policies based on real device behavior and restricts asset-to-asset communication precisely |
| NAC Acceleration | Provides device intelligence NAC solutions need to enforce policies for unmanaged devices |
| Policy Validation | Simulates policies before enforcement using live traffic data to validate operational impact |
Why Security Teams Choose ORDR for Segmentation
Here's how ORDR enables segmentation without the complexity of multiple disconnected tools.
Built on Authoritative Device Intelligence
ORDR establishes a single source of truth about every connected device across your environment. This intelligence is behavior-based, not scan-based, providing continuous observation of real communication patterns that make policy enforcement-ready.
The platform has leveraged AI since its inception, with over 8 years of patented technology that has learned from 100+ million connected devices.
Enforcement Without Integration Headaches
Visibility-only platforms like Armis and Claroty excel at identifying threats but stop at recommendations. To enforce segmentation, they partner with third-party tools, creating integration complexity.
Segmentation-only tools like Elisity require a separate asset intelligence platform to feed them data. ORDR combines both capabilities, eliminating vendor finger-pointing.
One Platform Pushes to Your Existing Infrastructure
ORDR integrates directly with the systems you already trust:
Firewalls: Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Check Point
Network Access Control: Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass, Forescout
Switches: Cisco, Aruba, Juniper
Wireless Infrastructure: Enterprise WAP systems
SIEM/SOAR: Splunk, IBM QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel
See enforcement in action — no manual work required.
SCHEDULE A DEMOOur Network Segmentation Process
Here's how ORDR's network segmentation process works from discovery through continuous enforcement:
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Discovery & Intelligence Foundation (24–48 Hours) | ORDR passively analyzes traffic to identify every device and map real communication behavior and dependencies. |
| Policy Generation & Simulation | AI creates least-privilege policies from live traffic data and allows natural-language policy creation with full "what-if" simulation before enforcement. |
| Safe Deployment & Continuous Adaptation | Validated policies are pushed to infrastructure with one-click deployment and continuously updated as device behavior changes. |
Microsegmentation That Prevents Lateral Movement
Traditional macro-segmentation creates broad network zones that still allow attackers to move laterally once inside the network. ORDR's micro-segmentation enforces zero-trust principles across unmanaged devices, reducing risk without disrupting clinical or operational workflows.
How Micro-Segmentation Works at Scale
Dynamic Policy Groups
Build segmentation groups by function, risk, location, or role. Policies adapt automatically as devices or roles change, maintaining continuous protection without manual updates.
Least-Privilege Access
Restrict asset-to-asset communication only to what devices actually need to function. Video cameras connect only to camera management systems. Medical imaging devices communicate only with PACS or DICOM servers.
Behavioral Baselines
ORDR analyzes device behavior to establish group and device-centric baselines unique to your network. These sanctioned communication patterns convert into segmentation policies.
NAC Acceleration for Unmanaged Devices
Network Access Control solutions excel at user and managed device authentication but struggle with IoT and unmanaged devices that lack certificates or authentication capabilities.
ORDR addresses NAC deployment challenges by providing high-fidelity discovery and classification, as well as make, model, serial number, and location for devices that NAC solutions can't profile effectively.
Solving the Unmanaged Device Problem
Traditional NAC profiling provides insufficient visibility into unmanaged devices, forcing organizations to grant access based on MAC addresses or IP addresses. This creates a fleet of "exception devices" that are blindly trusted.
ORDR provides the rich context NAC solutions need to confidently apply policy decisions. This data can be shared with CMDB, CMMS, or NAC platforms to appropriately allow or deny access.
Move from seeing problems to solving them.
SCHEDULE A DEMOWhat ORDR Does That Others Don't
Here's a side-by-side view of how ORDR compares to other segmentation approaches:
| Vendor | Limitation | ORDR Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Illumio | Workload-only; needs separate asset intelligence tools | Unified IT/IoT/OT visibility + built-in segmentation |
| Elisity | Segmentation-only platform | Combines asset intelligence + enforcement in one system |
Enforcement-First Messaging for Security Teams
Security teams face a consistent challenge: visibility platforms generate endless reports while segmentation projects stall due to fear of breaking production systems.
ORDR enables security teams to move from seeing problems to solving them. Policies are simulated before enforcement to show exactly what will be affected. This makes segmentation safe for high-consequence environments where downtime is unacceptable.
Segmentation safe enough for high-consequence environments.
SCHEDULE A DEMOBest Practices for Network Segmentation Implementation
Here's a structured approach to implementing segmentation using ORDR's capabilities:
| Best Practice | How It's Done | ORDR Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Start With Critical Assets | Segment high-risk/high-value devices first (e.g., IP cameras, HVAC), expanding gradually over time | Phased rollout reduces risk and allows incremental, controlled segmentation |
| Validate Before You Enforce | Test policies using live traffic simulation to uncover dependencies before activation | Visual traffic matrix ensures safe enforcement with no operational surprises |
| Leverage Existing Infrastructure | Push policies through existing firewalls, NAC, and network tools | No rip-and-replace — works with current security stack |
| Maintain Continuous Monitoring | Continuously baseline device behavior and detect anomalies in real time | Flow Genome mapping enables ongoing visibility and automated response to threats |
