Avocado Protect

Avocado Protect is an application zero trust security product that embeds security controls directly into the application runtime environment. It enforces zero trust principles at the process level across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Core approach: - Operates on an "Application Zero Trust" model, assuming no part of an application environment can be inherently trusted by default - Enforces strict identity verification, continuous monitoring, and least-privilege access at every layer of the application stack - Embedded into the application runtime rather than relying on perimeter-based defenses Key capabilities: - Process-level microsegmentation: isolates workloads and enforces communication policies between individual application components - Real-time threat detection and monitoring: continuously monitors application behavior for anomalies and malicious activity - Automatic vulnerability mitigation: reduces exposure windows by responding to threats without manual intervention - Least-privilege enforcement: restricts which processes, users, and services can interact with application components - Agentless, app-native deployment: designed to work across legacy and modern workloads without requiring agents Deployment and scope: - Supports cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments - Targets enterprise applications, including complex and legacy systems - Addresses lateral movement threats within trusted zones - Supports compliance with zero trust mandates and industry regulations The product aims to shift application security from a reactive posture to a proactive one by reducing the blast radius of attacks through granular access controls and automated threat response.
