Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is a microsegmentation solution that enforces Zero Trust principles across hybrid cloud environments. The product uses software-based segmentation to reduce attack surface and prevent lateral movement without requiring additional security hardware. The solution provides visibility into network assets and communications through sensors, data collectors, and logs that map the entire network infrastructure. It offers granular segmentation capabilities down to individual processes and services, with policy enforcement decoupled from underlying infrastructure. The platform supports multiple deployment environments including on-premises data centers, Azure, AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes containers. It provides both near-real-time and historical visibility for forensic analysis and threat detection. Policy creation uses pre-built templates and workflows with flexible asset labeling that integrates with orchestration systems and CMDB. The solution includes threat intelligence and breach detection capabilities, with osquery-powered insights to identify high-risk platforms and devices. The product addresses use cases including ransomware mitigation, compliance validation, critical application protection, and cloud workload security. It provides process-level and user-level granularity for investigating breaches and validating containment efforts.
