Elisity Top Microsegmentation Challenges and Goals Across the Manufacturing Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Industries

Watch on YouTube

This Elisity presentation at Network Field Day 36 focuses on how the convergence of IT and OT networks has created unique cybersecurity challenges across manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors, where legacy systems, unmanaged devices, and critical operations intersect. This technical talk explores how microsegmentation addresses the distinct security requirements of these regulated industries.

In manufacturing environments, the primary challenge lies in securing industrial control systems that often run on legacy operating systems and utilize proprietary protocols. Organizations must maintain IEC 62443 compliance while enabling secure communication between production zones, enterprise IT systems, and remote access points. Critical goals include protecting intellectual property in manufacturing execution systems (MES) while ensuring zero operational downtime.

Pharmaceutical companies face the additional complexity of FDA-regulated environments where Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) systems require both rigorous access controls and detailed audit trails. These organizations need microsegmentation solutions that can isolate quality control systems, laboratory information management systems (LIMS), and research data while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. Healthcare institutions struggle with an explosion of IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) devices that can’t support traditional security agents.

Meeting 405(d) HICP guidelines requires organizations to implement microsegmentation without disrupting critical care devices or patient monitoring systems. The challenge intensifies with the need to segment clinical networks from billing systems while maintaining HIPAA compliance.

Learn how modern microsegmentation architectures and platforms like Elisity address these challenges. You’ll see how Elisity’s Identity-based microsegmentation platform enables policy enforcement at the network edge, leveraging existing switch infrastructure for policy enforcement.

Learn why success requires continuous asset discovery, automated policy recommendations based on learned traffic patterns, and the ability to enforce segmentation policies without requiring hardware refresh or network redesign.

How to Optimize a Microsegmentation Architecture with Elisity

This Elisity presentation at Network Field Day 36 focuses on how Elisity’s microsegmentation architecture leverages a cloud-native distributed control plane that separates policy management from enforcement. At its core, the system utilizes a centralized policy management platform that integrates with existing identity providers and maintains the Elisity IdentityGraph—a comprehensive mapping of all network assets, their relationships, and behavior patterns. This identity-centric approach moves beyond traditional IP-based controls to enable context-aware policy enforcement at the network edge.

The implementation relies on Elisity Virtual Edge controller(s) that transform existing access-layer switches into policy enforcement points. These controllers communicate with the Elisity Cloud Control center via secure channels, enabling real-time policy updates without requiring dedicated hardware. For manufacturing environments, this architecture enables granular control over industrial control systems and OT devices while maintaining IEC 62443 compliance. In healthcare settings, it facilitates 405(d) HICP compliance while protecting sensitive medical devices and clinical systems.

Key technical components include the Elisity identity-based Dynamic Policy Engine that leverages machine learning for asset discovery and classification, graphical policy visualization matrices for traffic flow analysis, and virtual edge nodes that enforce policies using native switch functionality. The system continuously monitors east-west and north-south traffic patterns, providing real-time telemetry data for behavior analysis and policy refinement.

This architecture enables security teams to implement zero trust principles at scale, with the ability to microsegment networks down to individual workloads while maintaining the performance requirements of critical manufacturing and healthcare operations. The platform’s ability to learn from traffic patterns and automatically adjust policies based on identity and context makes it particularly effective in environments where traditional agent-based solutions are impractical.
