An AppNet is a software-defined segment of a NetFoundry overlay network dedicated to a specific application with access defined by a unique set of Identities, Services, and Policies. In the zero trust realm, this is called microsegmentation. AppNets fundamentally rethink network security by connecting specific sessions, not networks, effectively shielding client assets.<\/span><span style=\"text-wrap-mode: initial; color: var( --e-global-color-4ecd684 ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-8426dd2 );\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zero_trust_security_model\"><b>Zero Trust Microsegmentation<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AppNets use identity-based, session-specific access, ensuring only authorized users or devices can connect.
