Abstract
Systems and methods for dynamic, hyper context-based microsegmentation are described. In one aspect, span traffic associated with a computing device on a network is processed. Meta data associated with the span traffic is transmitted to a hyper context cloud server. It is determined whether the span traffic meta data matches a policy condition. Responsive to the span traffic meta data matching a policy condition, a policy is triggered. It is determined whether an action associated with the triggered policy is segment. Responsive to determining that the action is segment, a MAC address of the computing device is added to a segment name provided in the policy. The segment name is pushed to one or more enforcement points associated with the network.
