Guardicore Partners with Mellanox to Deliver Agentless and High-Performance Micro-Segmentation in Data CentersBOSTON and TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Guardicore, a leader in internal data center and cloud security, today announced that it has partnered with Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end smart interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, to deliver the first agentless and high-performance, low latency micro-segmentation solution for high speed 10G-100G networks. The solution leverages both the Guardicore Centra security platform and Mellanox BlueField SmartNIC solutions to provide customers with hardware-embedded micro-segmentation security. This integration allows customers using BlueField SmartNICs to support micro-segmentation requirements for high speed networks or when other agent-based solutions cannot be used. The new solution is fully integrated and managed centrally by Guardicore Centra. "The exponential growth of the global datasphere is fueling demand for data centers that can keep pace with the speed, scale and security necessary to support digitally driven business," said Pavel Gurvich, CEO and Co-founder, Guardicore. "We have long been committed to applying micro-segmentation techniques to help enterprise security teams cost-effectively reduce risk and limit the attack surface inside the data center without impacting performance. Partnering with Mellanox to offer an integrated solution is a natural extension of the many use cases we already support and allows us to address another set of specific customer requirements to protect data in high-speed, complex environments." "The first agentless and high-performance micro-segmentation solution in the IT security industry, the combination of Guardicore Centra and BlueField enables ease of deployment and operations in both new and existing environments," said Ariel Levanon, VP Cyber Security, Mellanox Technologies. "The combined Guardicore and Mellanox solution enables enhanced visibility and policy enforcement without installing agents on compute nodes. Agents are integrated into the BlueField SmartNIC in a manner fully isolated from the application workload, while also complying with strict regulations and embracing DevOps automation. As a high-speed SmartNIC, BlueField delivers unmatched performance that enforces micro-segmentation policies in 100Gb/s networks at full wire speed." p>Unleash The Full Potential of Micro-segmentation
The best choice of deployment options varies based on the environment and type of workloads, etc., for every enterprise. BlueField is perfectly positioned for bare-metal and Kubernetes deployments; running agents on the SmartNIC removes the need to deploy and maintain agents in these environments, enabling enterprise DevOps automation. BlueField also enhances the out-of-box experience for enterprises as they roll out microservices across their infrastructures, delivering improved agility, resiliency and business continuity.
