Maintaining complete network visibility in today’s complex IT environments is daunting. Network segmentation, while essential for security, often complicates obtaining a comprehensive view of the entire network infrastructure. Federal IT departments charged with the responsibility of keeping networks mission-ready face significant hurdles in visualizing connectivity, ensuring security zone segmentation, and performing complete path searches across segmented domains. 

Challenges of a segmented network include:

• Limited Visibility - Segmentation obscures the overall connectivity map, complicating network interaction visualization. 
• Complex Troubleshooting - Diagnosing issues spanning multiple segments is difficult without a unified network view.
• Operational Inefficiencies - Lack of a holistic view leads to inefficiencies, requiring manual information assembly across different interfaces.
