Network Segmentation

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.

The Difference

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

CapabilityHow ORDR Delivers
Macro-SegmentationControls traffic between network zones and reduces blast radius during security incidents
Micro-SegmentationGenerates least-privilege policies based on real device behavior and restricts asset-to-asset communication precisely
NAC AccelerationProvides device intelligence NAC solutions need to enforce policies for unmanaged devices
Policy ValidationSimulates policies before enforcement using live traffic data to validate operational impact
Why ORDR

Why Security Teams Choose ORDR for Segmentation

Here's how ORDR enables segmentation without the complexity of multiple disconnected tools.

Authoritative Device Intelligence

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.

One Platform

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.

Infrastructure Integration

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.

The Process

Our Network Segmentation Process

Here's how ORDR's network segmentation process works from discovery through continuous enforcement:

StageWhat Happens
Discovery & Intelligence Foundation (24–48 Hours)ORDR passively analyzes traffic to identify every device and map real communication behavior and dependencies.
Policy Generation & SimulationAI creates least-privilege policies from live traffic data and allows natural-language policy creation with full "what-if" simulation before enforcement.
Safe Deployment & Continuous AdaptationValidated policies are pushed to infrastructure with one-click deployment and continuously updated as device behavior changes.
Microsegmentation

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

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.

Competitive Differentiation

What ORDR Does That Others Don't

Here's a side-by-side view of how ORDR compares to other segmentation approaches:

VendorLimitationORDR Difference
IllumioWorkload-only; needs separate asset intelligence toolsUnified IT/IoT/OT visibility + built-in segmentation
ElisitySegmentation-only platformCombines 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.
