The core argument is that visibility and control are fundamentally different: visibility tells you where risk exists, but policy control tells you what to do about it. Specifically, understanding whether a vulnerability is actually reachable through allowed network paths requires firewall, cloud, and microsegmentation policy context that dashboards alone cannot provide. Zero Trust and microsegmentation must become continuous operational disciplines, not point-in-time projects, requiring a policy control plane that validates what is allowed, what is reachable, and which changes can be made safely across hybrid environments. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
