In the nearly two years since the IETF ratified the new TLS 1.3 standard for encrypting data, adoption of the standard has ticked up steadily, but many enterprises are still holding off.

For years the network perimeter has been the foundation for controlling access to digital resources: kill the network, and the user no longer has access. Today’s cloud-first world has changed that, shifting the security perimeter to users and devices—and as companies continue to adopt best of breed solutions that enable their workforce, they need identity providers that can effectively protect their systems.

Network segmentation—splitting up a network into smaller subnetworks—is a common practice, especially in large organizations. The benefits in segmenting networks include heightened network security, including better privilege management across different departments, isolating a successful attack (or other types of network failures) to a local network, and reduced attack surface, as well as better network performance through reduced congestion (fewer hosts in each subnetwork). Regulatory compliance can be a motivation as well. Additionally, previous mergers and acquisitions often necessitate that networks remain separate.
