Elisity, a leader in identity-driven microsegmentation, has been acknowledged as a Sample Vendor in the 2025 edition of the Gartner Hype Cycle for Enterprise Networking. The company has also been featured as a Representative Vendor in two notable Gartner Market Guide publications: Network Security Microsegmentation and Campus Infrastructure and Operations Software. These recognitions highlight Elisity’s consistent innovation in Zero Trust security solutions and its strategic role in helping organizations mitigate risks, streamline network operations, and accelerate Zero Trust adoption.

The networking and enterprise security landscape is witnessing rapid transformation. Gartner projects that enterprise network equipment spending will exceed $104 billion in 2025, with an expected rise to $135 billion by the end of 2028—an increase driven by the expanding demand for Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) offerings and on-premises infrastructure evolution.

James Winebrenner, CEO of Elisity, expressed pride in the company’s inclusion in the reports, stating, “We believe Gartner’s recognition underscores our commitment to delivering game-changing network security. Our platform empowers enterprises to achieve least-privilege access more quickly than any other solution available, all while integrating smoothly with existing infrastructure.”

Addressing Emerging Threats Through Microsegmentation

The heightened threat landscape has fueled the rise of microsegmentation as a key Zero Trust strategy. Gartner’s 2025 Market Guide for Network Security Microsegmentation notes a wave of segmentation initiatives targeting granular access control—even down to specific workloads or containers. The guide outlines critical use cases such as limiting lateral movement of ransomware and enhancing overall segmentation maturity across environments.

At the same time, the Campus Infrastructure and Operations Software Market Guide highlights how rising security demands, hardware commoditization, and limited IT staff are accelerating the adoption of new campus management and automation tools. According to Gartner, more than 75% of new campus networks will rely on multi-vendor security and management solutions by 2028, up from under 10% in 2025.

Real-World Validation from Industry Leaders

Edmond Mack, Chief Information Security Officer at Cencora and formerly at Haleon, praised Elisity’s impact on their operations:

“In my two decades of cybersecurity experience, Elisity stands out. We successfully deployed microsegmentation across operational technology systems without a single critical incident or business disruption. The overlay-based architecture meant we didn’t have to rework our network. Our business teams were so impressed they requested an accelerated rollout. While most tools merely detect threats, Elisity delivers true protection.”

Gartner projects that the adoption of diverse microsegmentation approaches will surge, estimating that by 2027, around 25% of Zero Trust-driven enterprises will use multiple deployment types—up sharply from less than 5% in 2025.

What Sets Elisity Apart

Elisity’s platform is built with three core innovations:

Rapid Identity-Based Microsegmentation: Enables least-privilege access within just 14 days from initial deployment to live policy enforcement.

AI-Powered IdentityGraph™: Automatically identifies all devices, correlates contextual data, and builds dynamic, automated policy enforcement.

Non-Disruptive Integration: Seamlessly overlays on existing switch infrastructure across IT, IoT, and OT environments without downtime.

These advantages position Elisity as a uniquely agile and efficient security solution. The company reported strong momentum in 2024, with double-digit year-over-year customer growth and a 5x increase in active security policies in Q4 alone. On average, clients enforced over 1,000 microsegmentation rules faster than initially anticipated.

Growing Presence Across Industries

Elisity’s platform is now protecting several Fortune 500 enterprises, with 83% of its customers implementing security policies across their infrastructures within 90 days. This rapid success has spanned critical industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, electronics, and energy—demonstrating the platform’s versatility and robust performance under real-world conditions.

As organizations confront increasingly complex security challenges, Elisity continues to redefine what’s possible in enterprise-grade microsegmentation and Zero Trust security—positioning itself as a trusted partner in the evolving threat landscape.
