Over 80 percent of respondents from pioneer companies found microsegmentation to have a critical impact on their Zero Trust strategy. The most important benefit for respondents from pioneer and nascent companies was the improved operational efficiency and security team bandwidth that was enabled by a more policy-based approach to security.

Supplementary notes
* Share of respondents who selected "critical".
* Nascent – Organizations in the Nascent cohort use segmentation solutions that deliver very good capabilities across 0-2 areas (or the organization does not have a solution in place). A strong majority of organizations (69%) were grouped as Nascent.
• Progressing – Those grouped as Progressing use segmentation solutions that deliver very good capabilities across 3-4 areas. Roughly one-quarter (24%) of our respondents were Progressing toward Zero Trust Segmentation.
• Pioneers – Pioneers are the most mature with regard to Zero Trust Segmentation and use segmentation solutions that deliver very good capabilities across all 5 areas. Unsurprisingly, few organizations have reached the third stage of Zero Trust Segmentation maturity, with only 6% able to be accurately described as Pioneers.
