The live webinar “Identity-First Segmentation: From Architecture to Operations,” hosted by Cisco on June 11, 2026, provides a comprehensive overview of modern network segmentation strategies. This event is designed for IT, OT, and security professionals seeking to move beyond static network security policies and adopt a unified, identity-based segmentation framework. Attendees will gain insights into orchestrating visibility and control across diverse environments, including IT, OT, and IoT.
Modernizing Network Segmentation
Traditional static network policies often struggle to keep pace with the dynamic nature of today’s hybrid environments. This webinar introduces a unified approach to segmentation, emphasizing the importance of identity-driven access control. By leveraging Cisco’s advanced technologies, organizations can automate device discovery and classification, ensuring that every asset is accurately identified and managed.
The session will detail how automated asset intelligence, powered by ORDR, streamlines the process of identifying devices across IT, OT, and IoT landscapes. This automation reduces manual errors and enhances overall security posture.
Dynamic Policy Design and Enforcement
Participants will learn how to design and enforce dynamic segmentation policies using Cisco ISE. The webinar covers the creation of identity-driven access controls that adapt to changing network conditions, eliminating the inflexibility of manual ACLs. The integration of Purple enables consistent policy enforcement across multiple sites, supporting organizations with distributed or complex network architectures.
Emphasis is placed on maintaining policy consistency and reducing compliance scope, which are critical for organizations facing regulatory requirements and operational challenges.
Operational Excellence and Ongoing Management
The event also addresses the operational aspects of segmented environments. Attendees will discover best practices for monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident response, ensuring that segmentation remains effective over time. The session highlights how to prevent policy drift and transform networks into active security enforcement points.
Collaboration with ISV technology partners such as ORDR and Purple is showcased, demonstrating how integrated solutions can enhance visibility, control, and operational efficiency across hybrid environments.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is ideal for network architects, security operations teams, CISOs, and compliance officers responsible for managing complex, distributed, or multi-site networks. Organizations seeking to modernize their network security strategies and reduce operational inefficiencies will benefit from the practical insights and solutions presented.
