Struggling with VLAN Security and Sprawl?

Abstract

Most enterprise networks today are still built on decades-old constructs like VLANs and ACLs - approaches that were never designed for the scale, mobility, and threat landscape of modern IT environments. What started as a simple way to segment networks has evolved into a source of operational complexity, security gaps, and escalating costs.

As organizations grow, VLAN sprawl becomes increasingly difficult to manage—leading to brittle configurations, manual provisioning, policy inconsistencies, and increased risk of lateral movement during breaches. Network and security teams are forced to spend more time performing segmentation tasks than delivering strategic value.

In this session, we’ll explore why traditional VLAN-based approaches have reached their breaking point, and how a new, intent-based, VLAN-free architecture dramatically simplifies operations while strengthening security.

You’ll learn how to:

• The Hidden Risks: Why VLANs create operational and security risks
• VLAN-free Advantages: How a network should work to reduce attack surfaces, eliminate lateral movement, and streamline IT operations in the era of AI
• Real-world Expectations: What it feels like to provide better user and IoT security while seeing lower costs, faster onboarding, and improved network resilience

Who should attend:

• NetSec operators struggling and frustrated with VLAN complexity in branch and campus deployments
• CIOs/CISOs interested in next a generation architecture that increases zero trust and productivity
