ViewQwest, a regional network and security provider, has announced at the GovWare 2025 conference in Singapore that it will resell and run the automated microsegmentation platform of Zero Networks as a managed service. The offering covers Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Hong Kong.

Microsegmentation divides a network into small zones so that an intruder who compromises one machine cannot move freely to the next. It is a well-established idea and a notoriously unfinished one, because the work of mapping what talks to what, and then writing rules that do not break a business process, can take years. Zero Networks' pitch is that the mapping is automated, that the tool uses the firewalls already present on each machine rather than installing extra software, and that a network can be segmented in about three steps and thirty days. The company also says it can require a fresh login at the moment an administrator opens a remote port.

What happens in month two

The thirty-day figure is the vendor's own, and the honest reading is that it describes the first pass rather than the finished state. Networks change; new applications appear; rules that were correct in January quietly stop matching the traffic in June. A managed service is a reasonable answer to that, because someone has to keep the policy current, and that ongoing work is the part a fast rollout does not include.

The agentless design is an elegant solution with its own edge: it depends on the host firewalls of the machines being covered. Vignesa Moorthy, ViewQwest's chief executive, framed the partnership as making enterprise-grade segmentation affordable for more firms. That is the claim; the proof will be in how many policies survive their first quarter.
