VLANs used to be sufficient to separate environments in your data center. However, they do not extend to the cloud, and require too much manual effort for today’s fast-paced IT reality. Have you considered micro-segmentation to achieve far quicker time to value?

Looking forward to 2020, it’s clear that nation state cyber attacks and ransomware are on the rise, and that local governments and healthcare organizations are the most vulnerable. However, the steps to secure your infrastructure might be simpler than you think.

Native cloud security groups aren’t built to easily handle complex security needs such as cross-cloud application dependencies, or multi-cloud application migration. This experiment shows the roadblocks our customer came up against with native cloud tools, and how Guardicore provided a single, simple and manageable policy with a single solution.

Lacking necessary visibility and internal enforcement capabilities, traditional perimeter security couldn’t distinguish between what was in scope and what wasn’t, so made it impossible for businesses to remain truly compliant. Micro-segmentation using the Zero Trust model provides visibility and allows you to enforce tight controls on data that is in scope, and retain flexibility and visibility over your heterogeneous environment as a whole.

Microsoft has awarded Guardicore IP Co-Sell Status, recognizing that it is a trusted partner for customers looking to achieve a wide range of cloud security goals. Let’s look at Guardicore’s integration on the Azure marketplace. Read more to see how this impacts you.

“Never trust, always verify.” But, how can you verify what you can’t see? A strong zero trust model starts with an intuitive and accurate map of your entire data center, updated in real time and with valuable business context and grouping. If you’re thinking about Zero Trust for your enterprise, here’s where it begins.

Cloud teams know the difficulties of securing applications to cloud. Read about the process of segmenting an application in the cloud and practical limitations discovered in Azure Security Groups while simulating an application segmentation project in the cloud within multiple vNets.

Cloud teams know the difficulties of migrating applications to cloud. Read about the practical limitations discovered in Azure Security Groups and flow logs while simulating an application migration to the cloud within a single vNet.

Traditional security tools are ineffective when it comes to protecting a hybrid cloud data center. They provide ineffective controls, limited visibility and automation, and can’t keep up with today’s pace of change. In contrast, Guardicore hybrid data center security strategies are built to enable security in this hybrid environment.
