This report summarizes a 2026 study of 400 U.S.-based network security practitioners that identifies four archetypes of failed network segmentation projects (Perfect Storm, Diffuse Friction, Operational Drag, Scope and Visibility Trap), links failure types to project scope and technical approach (not workload type), and recommends pre-project asset discovery, governance, and policy automation as mitigations.
