Centra Security Platform
The fastest way to visualize and segment your assets in the data center, cloud, or hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Guardicore is the segmentation company disrupting the legacy firewall market. Guardicore’s software only approach is decoupled from the physical network, providing a faster alternative to firewalls. Built for the agile enterprise, Guardicore offers greater security and visibility in the cloud, data-center and endpoint.
A Better Way to Segment Your Data Center and Cloud
Guardicore Centra uses software-based segmentation to help you achieve a higher level of security more quickly and easily, with no downtime.
With Guardicore Centra you can:
The Attack Surface Reduction Report is a simple, nearly zero-touch method for demonstrating the power segmentation will have on your unique network in four easy steps.
- Data collection
- Data analysis
- Risk reduction explained
- Value visualization
Guardicore’s software-based segmentation approach simplifies the process of reducing risk without requiring costly security hardware. Visualize your applications, understand their connections, and secure them with policies that cross all environments.
Lateral movement typically starts with an infection or credential-based compromise of an initial data center or cloud node. From there, an attacker may employ various reconnaissance techniques to learn more about the networks, nodes, and applications surrounding the compromised resource.
While many organizations continue to invest in legacy firewalls, today’s true security battleground is inside the firewall. Guardicore Centra provides a single, scalable platform with real-time threat detection and response capabilities, to detect lateral movement and minimize dwell time, through the entire cyber attack kill chain.
Organizations are taking advantage of digital transformation in their quest to boost agility and shrink infrastructure costs. However, this transformation often comes at a cost: a larger, more complex security attack surface.
Guardicore Centra aims to provide a simpler, faster way to reduce attack surfaces and prevent lateral movement in an IT environment via microsegmentation security policies.
How Guardicore Centra Works
Unlike other segmentation solutions like legacy firewalls and VLANs, Guardicore Centra integrates deep visibility of the entire IT environment into its policy engine. This allows you to create more granular security policies with accuracy and certainty.
Centra Architecture Overview
*Where agents can’t be deployed, visibility is extended into devices using collectors.
For policy enforcement, Centra integrates with firewall solutions, switches, ACLs, EDR, etc.
Architecture Highlights
- Agent-based solution with a distributed, host-based firewall built in
- Central management across any environment: on premises, cloud, hybrid cloud
- Core components – visibility, segmentation, breach detection
- Integration with 50+ security and infrastructure management tools
- Broad coverage from devices to cloud, and everything in-between
