Roqos has developed micro-segmentation both for global use among several sites and local use in LANs. In Global Micro-Segmentation (GMS), end-points across multiple sites or in cloud can be grouped and segmented for unique policies with a few clicks. With Local Micro-Segmentation (LMS), devices in a LAN can be remotely segmented.

Using patent-pending technology, agentless Roqos micro-segmentation eliminates installation of additional software on end-devices, complex and expensive VLAN switches and cable management systems. It is ideal not only for IT but also OT and IoT environments.

Roqos’ other patent-pending technology, Device Isolation, allows devices to be remotely disconnected from the LAN to prevent the spread of suspicious activities. This feature can also be utilized to implement maintenance windows for networked equipment.

Similar to LMS, it requires no agents on end devices and eliminates the need for complex switch or cable management. Device Isolation supports IT, OT, and IoT environments, all accessible through the intuitive Roqos web app with just a few clicks.

LMS overcomes the VLAN’s limitations of being static, complex and hard-to-troubleshoot with an intuitive UI that simplifies the process of defining IP address ranges, the number of segments, and the size of each segment. DHCP ranges, default router settings, and DNS server configurations are automatically set up, enabling users to deploy LMS with minimal networking expertise. Once the segments are created, devices can be assigned to their respective segments through simple and straightforward steps in the UI.

Unlike VLANs, LMS does not require hard to use VLAN switches. It is directly implemented on Roqos Core appliances and is compatible with all Ethernet switches on the market. Furthermore, networked devices do not require any configuration changes or the installation of agent software, making LMS a seamless and efficient solution for modern network segmentation.
