Prevent Lateral Movement

Granular controls to stop unauthorized east-west traffic

Limit the impact of breaches by restricting lateral movement

Visualize east-west traffic

Understand expected application behavior and spot unsanctioned activity.

Centra’s visualization capabilities display both real-time and historical application activity with process-level detail. Contextual labels, flexible filtering, and hierarchical views make it easy to distinguish between sanctioned and unsanctioned application behavior.

Create granular micro-segmentation policies

Create software-defined policies to tightly control authorized communication and block everything else.

Centra’s integrated policy wizards and suggestions make creation of precise security policies fast and easy. Centra supports both blacklist and whitelist policies, including sophisticated rules that incorporate AND/NOT/FOR equations, identity, and fully qualified domain names.

Detect and respond to threats quickly

Draw from multiple techniques to proactively identify potential breaches and mitigate them quickly.

Centra’s integrated threat detection and response capabilities include reputation-based detection, file integrity monitoring, and deception. Possible breaches and lateral movement are detected quickly, and security operations teams receive actionable information and guidance.

Effective security that extends beyond the perimeter

Guardicore Centra lets you visualize your entire IT infrastructure and understand expected application behavior in detail. From there, you can create granular micro-segmentation policies that block unsanctioned activity. This prevents attackers who successfully compromise a trusted IT asset from moving laterally across the infrastructure to expand and escalate the attack. In addition, techniques like reputation-based detection, file integrity monitoring, and dynamic deception help you uncover and respond to threats quickly and proactively refine security policies to reduce your attack surface.

Stop Unsanctioned Lateral Movement with Guardicore

While many organizations invest heavily in perimeter security, today’s true security battleground is inside the firewall. The volume of “east-west” traffic now exceeds “north-south” perimeter traffic by a wide margin. Guardicore helps you prevent attackers from using an individual point of compromise as a starting point for lateral movement by making it easy to see what is happening in your infrastructure and tightly controlling communication between your IT assets.
