Containing the Breach: Elisity and the Rise of Microsegmentation
A massive ransomware breach at Conduent exposed data of at least 25 million people, underscoring how lateral movement fuels cyber‑incidents.

Elisity’s identity‑based platform overlays policies on existing infrastructure, enabling non‑disruptive enforcement and rapid policy simulation. Backed by $37 million Series B funding, the company has posted 8,860% revenue growth and is positioning its solution for the expanding AI‑agent attack surface.
