12Port Microsegmentation

Microsegmentation for Identity based East-West Traffic Control

Microsegmentation module of the 12Port platform, designed to control and monitor internal network traffic between managed assets using identities, tagging, and classification. By leveraging endpoint-native firewalls and context-aware policies, Microsegmentation enables you to visualize, control, and enforce segmentation across your environment, without adding complexity to your network architecture.

12Port Microsegmentation

Total Visibility into Asset Network Activity

Before you can control lateral movement, you need to see it. 12Port Microsegmentation collects data directly from the endpoints, giving you a clear and dynamic picture of your internal traffic. 

  • Asset-level network and firewall state collection. 
  • Visibility into interfaces, workloads, active and logged connections. 
  • Full listing of current firewall rules and enforcement status. 

12Port Microsegmentation provides the foundation of microsegmentation; knowing exactly how your assets communicate.

Endpoint-Native Firewall Management

Take direct control over asset-level enforcement with 12Port Microsegmentation’s native firewall management capabilities. Whether you’re segmenting zones, isolating workloads, or managing exceptions, 12Port Microsegmentation makes it possible without requiring inline appliances or agents. 

  • Add or delete firewall rules directly on the endpoint. 
  • Enable or disable rule enforcement per asset. 
  • Support for Linux, Windows Defender Firewall, Oracle Solaris Packet Filtering, IBM AIX IP Security. 

Operate confidently using the security controls already present in your endpoints; fully automated and centrally managed.

Visualize Your Network with Connection Maps

See how your infrastructure is behaving at any moment with 12Port Microsegmentation’s interactive asset connection chart. 

  • Map inbound and outbound connections across assets and nodes. 
  • Navigate your infrastructure hierarchy with zoom and container filtering. 
  • Manage IP Lists, aggregate IPs, and interact directly with assets. 
  • Understand service relationships with graphical clarity. 

From simple views to highly complex environments, 12Port Microsegmentation helps teams visually decode East-West traffic in seconds.

Dynamic Policy Control Using Tags and Selectors

12Port Microsegmentation empowers you to define microsegmentation policies that adapt to changes in your environment automatically. 

  • Build policies using selectors, services, and automatic asset tags. 
  • Support tag-based policy logic across workloads and services. 
  • Apply policies on events such as asset changes or selector updates. 
  • Automatically generate and publish firewall rules to endpoints. 

With 12Port Microsegmentation, Identity based segmentation becomes dynamic, scalable, and rooted in an always connected context.

Monitor Policy Behavior Without Risk

Not ready to enforce? 12Port Microsegmentation lets you simulate policy impact before deployment. 

  • Monitor microsegmentation policies in monitor-only mode. 
  • Detect violations without enforcing firewall rule blocks. 
  • Refine your strategy using connected behavior data. 

This ensures smooth rollouts and operational alignment before full enforcement goes live.

Segmentation Insights and Policy Suggestions

Get smarter about segmentation with 12Port Microsegmentation’s built-in analytical models. 

  • Receive segmentation suggestions based on observed connections. 
  • Understand model density and how tags influence segmentation. 
  • Tune your policies using real-world data, not assumptions. 

Make your segmentation smarter not just stricter. 

12Port Microsegmentation

Manage Exceptions with Built-in Service Request Workflows

Even the best policies need exceptions. 12Port Microsegmentation includes built-in service request workflows so teams can request access without compromising security. 

  • Request temporary time-based exceptions. 
  • Support for approval cycles and audit logging. 
  • Granular control without opening security gaps. 

Enable secure operations and business agility, all within policy. 

12Port Microsegmentation

Reporting at Every Level

From high-level overviews to detailed connection logs, 12Port Microsegmentation provides comprehensive reporting for your entire microsegmentation deployment. 

  • Reports by space, container, or individual asset. 
  • Table-based and visual reports. 
  • Status reports on endpoints, interfaces, workloads, firewall rules, and active connections. 

Everything you need for audits, compliance, and internal reviews; fully accessible and easy to share. 

Why 12Port Microsegmentation Powers Secure Segmentation

12Port Microsegmentation brings visibility, control, and intelligence to East-West traffic controls. By managing segmentation policies directly at the endpoint, it allows organizations to operate more securely without rearchitecting their networks. 

With 12Port Microsegmentation, you get:
Real network visibility down to the connection level.

Centralized control over endpoint-native firewalls.

Tag-based microsegmentation with dynamic policy enforcement.

Interactive network maps and policy simulation.

Smart segmentation suggestions powered by machine learning analytics.

Built-in workflows for exception handling and approvals.

Full reporting across every level of your infrastructure.

Whether you’re moving toward zero trust or tightening compliance, 12Port Microsegmentation helps you enforce segmentation that adapts and scales with your business.
