Asimily launches segmentation orchestration for devices

Asimily has launched Segmentation Orchestration, aimed at network-connected device environments across IT, OT, IoMT and IoT.

The system links device risk intelligence to network policy enforcement without manual translation. It is designed to work with existing network access control systems and firewalls, covering device discovery, vulnerability prioritisation, policy simulation, deployment and ongoing adjustment.

The launch reflects a broader problem for security teams as connected device estates grow in size and complexity. Many organisations can identify devices on their networks, but turning that visibility into segmentation policy still often depends on manual work, creating a gap between detected risk and enforced controls.

Asimily said its platform maps how devices communicate across the network before any policy is created. That includes ports, protocols, service dependencies, and whether traffic patterns are expected or anomalous, with policy recommendations based on observed device behaviour.

Policy workflow

Asimily outlined eight parts of the new offering: inventory and visibility, vulnerability prioritisation, automated policy recommendations, policy simulation, policy creation, policy application, continuous segmentation, and an engine that checks policies for errors and inconsistencies.

Policy simulation is intended to let security and networking teams test the effect of changes before deployment. That matters in sectors such as healthcare and manufacturing, where an incorrect policy can interfere with patient monitoring systems or interrupt production operations.

Once a policy is approved, the software creates rules in the format used by the customer's network access control or firewall systems. It then applies those policies through integrations with the vendors' application interfaces.

Asimily said the continuous segmentation function is intended to stop policies becoming outdated as device settings, configurations and network topologies change. It argued that static controls tied to IP ranges or virtual local area networks can quickly lose relevance in dynamic environments.

Shankar Somasundaram, Chief Executive Officer at Asimily, said the rise of AI-enabled attacks is increasing pressure on security teams. "AI has exploded the volume and sophistication of network attacks against connected devices, and security teams are discovering that visibility tools and manual policies cannot keep pace," Somasundaram said.

"Attackers are exploiting the space between what organizations can see and what their network policies actually enforce. While network segmentation is one of the most effective controls against lateral movement, implementing it at scale across heterogeneous IoT, OT, IoMT, and IT asset environments has required significant manual effort and a high risk of device disruption. Asimily's Segmentation Orchestration removes those obstacles by automating the full journey from device discovery through dynamic policy deployment," he added.

Device focus

Asimily's existing platform already covers device inventory and classification, behavioural analysis of network traffic, automated device patching and vulnerability prioritisation. The new product extends that base by connecting risk analysis directly to segmentation enforcement.

The company also said its vulnerability assessment differs from approaches that rely on generic CVSS severity ratings. Instead, it maps weaknesses to exploit paths in a customer's actual environment so that prioritisation reflects how an attacker could move through the network.

The emphasis on connected devices places the launch in a segment of the cybersecurity market that spans conventional IT systems as well as operational technology, medical technology and internet-connected equipment. These environments often involve a mix of old and new systems, specialised devices, and operational constraints that make broad security changes harder to implement.

Constancio Fernandes, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Asimily, said the company built the product to close the gap between monitoring and action. "Most connected device security programs start with visibility. While that foundation matters, visibility that doesn't connect to action is merely just a dashboard," Fernandes said.

"Modern AI driven attack vectors don't wait for security teams to manually translate what they see. We built Segmentation Orchestration because our customers needed a platform that automatically and continuously transforms device context into enforced policy. Complete cyber asset risk mitigation is always the goal, and it's what we continue building toward across every part of the Asimily platform," he added.

Asimily said the product can be used across healthcare, manufacturing, life sciences, energy, financial services and government environments. The company is based in Sunnyvale, California, and focuses on cyber asset and exposure management for IT, IoT, OT and IoMT settings.

Somasundaram said Asimily's focus remains on product development rather than consolidation activity in the market. "Buyers in this space should be paying close attention to who is building product and who is navigating acquisition integration," he said.

"Asimily remains focused on one thing, which is delivering complete cyber asset risk mitigation capabilities that evolve with what our customers actually need," he added.
