Why Guardicore

What Makes Guardicore the Best Segmentation Solution?

Broadest Coverage

Guardicore protects critical assets no matter where they are deployed or accessed. In the cloud, on-premises, virtual servers, bare metal, or containers.

Consistent Policy Enforcement

Guardicore enables the same level of granular, process-level rules across different operating environments like Windows and Linux.

Faster and Simpler Segmentation

Guardicore supports a flexible allowlist/denylist model for fast risk reduction with a few rules. Others force you into a complex allowlist only model.

Guardicore’s software-based approach to segmentation gets you faster results with no changes to networks, applications and no downtime.

More Legacy System Support

Guardicore supports more legacy operating systems, such as Windows 2003, CentOS 6, and RHEL5, and AS400.

Comprehensive Breach Detection
