Guardicore Expands Its Centra Security Platform To Protect Cloud Native Applications And Simplify Segmentation PolicyBOSTON and TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Guardicore, a leader in internal data center and cloud security, today announced several new capabilities in its Guardicore Centra Security Platform designed to help security architects visualize, segment, and protect cloud-native applications while further simplifying the process for reducing risk to mission-critical business applications through segmentation. Building on its broad security coverage across hybrid data center environments, Guardicore protects cloud-native applications, including serverless computing and Platform as a Service (PaaS). This enables security teams to visualize and control access to cloud-native applications from the same Guardicore Centra Security Platform where they secure applications running on bare metal systems, virtual servers, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and containers. This provides security professionals with a single platform, giving them a single view of all applications and flows, and a single, consistent dashboard to create, update and enforce policies, dramatically simplifying security policy management in hybrid data center and cloud environments. "Cloud-native application development is rapidly becoming the new standard for quickly building and scaling new business applications and optimizing existing ones," said Pavel Gurvich, Co-founder and CEO, Guardicore. "Until now, providing adequate protection of PaaS services such as AWS S3, Azure SQL, and GCP Cloud Run has required standalone security tools to properly visualize access to these services and apply access control policies, resulting in inefficient security policy management across hybrid environments. Guardicore has simplified this by integrating cloud-native support into the Guardicore Centra Security Platform. This allows security to keep up with the pace of DevOps while maintaining the appropriate levels of security to protect sensitive data and applications." Security for Cloud-Native Applications Guardicore Centra uses multiple methods for data collection and policy enforcement for cloud-native applications, including cloud-native access control policies, cloud APIs, Guardicore agents, and utilizing code instrumentation mechanisms for serverless functions. This provides the ultimate flexibility in how to apply least privilege and reduce the attack surface of cloud-native services. AI-Powered Segmentation Based on intelligence collected from tens of thousands of applications and millions of flows from Guardicore customers, and combined with AI-based algorithms, Guardicore Centra provides asset classification and policy assistance in three main areas:
