Overview

Stop Threats & Ransomware From Spreading

A submarine has compartments. If one floods, watertight doors seal it off—the ship doesn't sink.

Your network needs the same thing. When attackers breach your perimeter (and they will), they move laterally in under an hour. One compromised laptop becomes access to your database, your financial systems, everything. Colonial Pipeline lost control of the East Coast's fuel supply because attackers moved freely from a single stolen password.

Microsegmentation creates those watertight doors. Breach one system, get trapped there. Organizations using it stop 95% of lateral movement attempts and contain breaches 71% faster.

Our Approach to Microsegmentation

Independent Consulting, Expert Implementation

We're network security consultants who help you evaluate options, design the right strategy, and implement it correctly.

After years of assessments, we consistently recommend Illumio—it's the only platform that actually delivers at enterprise scale without decade-long projects. But we help you verify that for your specific environment first.

Challenges

Three Reasons for Microsegmentation

Response time

Your Incident Response Is Too Slow

Ransomware encrypts in hours. Your investigation takes days. You're losing a race you can't win with detection alone.
cyber insurance

Cyber Insurance Premiums Just Doubled

Insurers now require proof of segmentation. Without it, you're facing 30-50% premium increases or coverage denial. One company got quotes requiring $200M in infrastructure upgrades.
compliance audit

Compliance Audits Keep Expanding Scope

Your PCI auditor can't verify data isolation, so your entire network is now in scope. Every quarterly audit costs more staff time and exposes more gaps.

SafeMesh is an Illumio Partner

Why We Recommend illumio

We've evaluated every microsegmentation vendor, and illumio consistently wins.
scalability

It Scales

The contextual and tag-based nature of illumio allows it to scale to the level we've never seen before: 200,000+ workloads
fast deployment

Fast Deployment

Microsegmentation projects take an incredibly long time to deploy. With illumio, this is no longer the case. The deployment time is significantly faster.
a diamond representing strength

It Doesn't Break Things

With its capability to use workloads' native firewalls and simulated traffic flow before applying the rules, it significantly reduces any accidental blockage of legitimate traffic.
instant contamination

Instant Contamination

Proactively build rules to block known infection paths and quickly quarantine infected systems. Keep critical systems online even when an attacker is still active.

Comprehensive Demo

Watch how Illumio maps your network dependencies in real-time. We'll simulate a ransomware attack spreading laterally—then show you how microsegmentation stops it at the first hop. See Illumio Insights for visibility and Illumio Segmentation for containment, demonstrated in an environment similar to yours.
PoC

PoC

Deploy Illumio in your actual network—agent-based for data centers and endpoints, agentless for cloud environments. Gain visibility into what's communicating, protect your highest-risk applications, and measure real containment effectiveness. Your data, your infrastructure, quantified results before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

What is microsegmentation and how does SafeMesh implement it?
Microsegmentation isolates workloads, applications, and devices into granular security zones so threats can't move laterally across your network. SafeMesh, a Vancouver-based cybersecurity consulting firm serving the US and Canada, designs and deploys microsegmentation using Illumio and integrated platforms like Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet. SafeMesh implements these technical controls but does not perform certification or assessment.
Does microsegmentation help meet CMMC or CPCSC requirements?
Yes. Microsegmentation supports access control and network isolation requirements within CMMC (US) and CPCSC (Canada) frameworks. SafeMesh implements the technical microsegmentation controls these frameworks require, primarily using Illumio. Note that SafeMesh deploys the controls only; it does not perform certification or formal assessment, which must be handled by an authorized assessor.
Which microsegmentation vendor does SafeMesh use for US and Canadian clients?
SafeMesh primarily uses Illumio for microsegmentation deployments across the US and Canada, and integrates it with complementary platforms including Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Zscaler, and Netskope. SafeMesh is a Vancouver, Canada consulting firm that implements these technical security controls; it does not provide certification or assessment services.
How is microsegmentation different from a traditional firewall?
A traditional firewall protects the network perimeter, while microsegmentation enforces granular policies between internal workloads to stop lateral movement once an attacker is inside. SafeMesh implements both as part of a zero-trust architecture, combining next-gen firewalls (Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet) with Illumio microsegmentation for US and Canadian organizations.
Can SafeMesh deploy microsegmentation as part of a zero-trust strategy?
Yes. SafeMesh deploys microsegmentation as a core component of zero-trust architecture for US and Canadian clients, pairing Illumio with ZTNA, SASE/SSE, and next-gen firewall controls from Zscaler, Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet. SafeMesh implements these technical controls but does not perform certification or compliance assessments.
