Improving Network Security with Granular Segmentation
Akamai Guardicore Segmentation helps organizations visualize and secure their network infrastructure. It collects detailed IT infrastructure data through agent-based sensors, network collectors, and cloud logs, creating a dynamic network map that provides real-time visibility into activity at both the user and process levels. This ensures quick detection of breaches and prevents unauthorized lateral movement by segmenting network traffic at a granular level. Additionally, with AI-powered workflows and pre-built templates, security teams can easily create and enforce policies across data centers, multiclouds, and endpoints without complex infrastructure changes or downtime.
Key capabilities:
- Granular, AI-powered segmentation that helps with quick implementation of policies using AI-driven recommendations and pre-built templates for common security use cases, such as ransomware mitigation.
- Real-time and historical visibility into application dependencies and network traffic, allowing activity to be monitored at both the user and process levels.
- Broad platform support covering modern and legacy operating systems across bare-metal servers, virtual machines, containers, IoT, and cloud instances.
- Customizable asset labeling that adds valuable context for enhanced visibility and enforcement, integrating with existing tools for automatic labeling.
- Integrated threat intelligence and breach detection to reduce response times during security incidents.
Additional Benefits
- Simplified security management: Manage network security through a unified platform that offers comprehensive capabilities, including network visualization, segmentation, breach detection, and policy enforcement, all supporting a Zero Trust framework.
- Enterprise scalability and performance: Begin with focused protection for your organization's most critical digital assets, and effortlessly scale to secure the entire enterprise, all while avoiding unnecessary complexity, infrastructure changes, or performance bottlenecks.
