Background

Modern networks are becoming increasingly complex, driven by the rapid adoption of cloud computing, IoT (Internet of Things), and 5G technologies, which have exponentially increased the number of connected devices. According to Gartner, global spending on network security is projected to reach $20 billion by 2025, highlighting the critical need for advanced solutions. Traditionally, managing network resources involves assigning security policies to each device individually, leading to inefficiencies and challenges in scaling. Additionally, according to IDC, 68% of organizations report difficulties with policy enforcement and segmentation across their networks. While Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has introduced the separation of the control plane (decision-making) from the forwarding plane (data transmission), it still lacks an efficient, scalable method to dynamically group resources
