Industry’s 1st Zero Trust Fabric with identity-based micro-segmentation and native NAC shrinks the attack surface to offer the world’s most secure network, delivered as-a-service
SAN JOSE, Calif. – March 19, 2026 – Nile, a pioneer and leader for Secure Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) now reimagining secure networking in the AI-era, announced several industry-first capabilities that dramatically shrink the attack surface, reducing risk and containing breaches by nearly 60%. Nile is leading a long-felt shift in the industry with a clean-slate ‘secure-by-design’ architectural approach built on zero-trust, driven by autonomous operations, delivering cloud services, and acting as a force multiplier for IT organizations globally. Nile is bringing security, simplicity, speed and savings to enterprise customers as well as government and educational institutions.
Nile’s innovations on its security-first architecture include:
- An industry-first zero-trust fabric with embedded identity-based micro-segmentation to prevent lateral security threats and contain breaches
- Industry-first identity-based access control natively integrated into the network fabric eliminating standalone NAC appliances and cutting complexity and cost by 30-70%
- New “Segment-of-1” architecture that isolates every device and limits blast radius to prevent malware propagation including IT and IoT
- Expanded security services catalog with the new Nile Trust Service, Secure Guest, RADIUS, DHCP as well as the integrated Internet Edge offering
Together these innovations — along with Nile’s revolutionary architecture that unifies wired/wireless, network/security and IT/IoT devices and workflows — radically slash complexity and distribute simplicity across branch and campus environments. By design, it also prevents entirely new classes of attacks like AirSnitch.
