One of the core components of the Akamai Guardicore Platform is microsegmentation.

Akamai Guardicore’s host-based network segmentation is revolutionizing the market for traditional firewalls. The software-only approach is decoupled from the physical network and offers a faster alternative. Designed for agile enterprises, Akamai Guardicore Segmentation provides greater security and visibility across the cloud, data center and endpoint. The key features are:

Wide coverage – Microsegementation policies apply anywhere your applications run, spanning public, private or hybrid cloud environments.

Deep Visibility – Guardicore’s solution for application discovery and mapping of dependencies allows you to understand the full context before defining microsegmentation security policies.

Intuitive workflow – Guardicore Centra provides a simple workflow. From mapping application dependencies to suggesting and setting rules. This way, you learn to understand correlations so that you can then apply them optimally to data traffic.

Granular policies – Now you can set and enforce rules at the process level. So you precisely control flows between application components, resulting in the strongest security posture.

High flexibility at low cost – Akamai’s solution is less expensive, more effective and more adaptable than traditional firewalls.

Microsegmentation provides a detailed view of network traffic. This gives administrators better control over data. In addition, microsegmentation can identify data traffic that requires preferential treatment or management. This could be data that needs special protection to comply with regulations or standards.

Finally, microsegmentation is a core component of sophisticated security concepts, such as zero-trust networking. This is used to verify a user’s identity before they can access a device on the network.

Breaking down data center and cloud environments into separate logical parts, enables critical data, processes and systems to be protected against attacks. It is about enforcing the highest security policies, monitoring data flows between data centers and isolating data access.

Akamai Guardicore – Network segmentation in the retail sector

Cyber attacks on retail companies have increased significantly in the last 12 months. Attackers usually focus on business-critical IT assets, which bring the entire operation to a standstill in the event of a failure. If the intruders are successful, the next step is to demand ransom payments. This is known as a ransomware attack. Our customers were already struggling with security incidents and were looking for a solution to reduce attack surfaces and protect critical resources from ransomware. They wanted a simple, fast and scalable solution that would complement their existing IT infrastructure without requiring costly security hardware.

Akamai Guardicore – Network segmentation for distributed locations

The number of successful cyber attacks on German companies is growing. Attackers are no longer limiting themselves to local resources, but are expanding their attacks to the entire IT landscape. The increasing networking between devices, tools and users plays into their hands. Many companies lack the necessary security practices to consistently protect their system environments and data across multiple data centers and clouds. This situation raises the question for many companies as to whether cyber insurance, as offered by many large insurance groups, is sufficient to minimize the risk of an attack. And how can the insurers’ requirements for taking out cyber insurance be met? Read more in our UseCase Netzwerksegmentierung für verteilte Standorte.
