Our main use case for Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is to implement micro-segmentation and Zero Trust security across hybrid environments, including both on-premises and cloud workloads. We primarily use it to gain visibility into east-west traffic to control the communication between application and servers, which helps in reducing the risk of lateral movement in case of security breach. Additionally, we use it for application dependency mapping to understand how workloads interact, creating granular segmentation policies based on application, environment, and role, improving compliance posture, especially for banking and financial customers. Overall, it helps us to move from traditional perimeter-based security to more workload-level security approach.

My main use case for Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is related to Kubernetes instrumentation and visibility, although it is difficult to specify a main use case. When I work with Kubernetes, it is a very dynamic environment where we have pods that are going up and down all the time, and most of the customers don't have visibility about how those pods communicate between themselves or what type of service they consume outside.

By doing instrumentation in Kubernetes, which I have done already, even in OpenShift for on-premise environments and also on Azure, we are able to see all the pods that go up and down and all the communication that they establish inside the pod and outside the Kubernetes environment.

My main use case for Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is for big micro-segmentation at my company. A specific example of how I use micro-segmentation with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation in my company is the segmentation of big broadcast domains, where with this I could segregate the front end, the back end, backup networks, and out-of-band networks for administration. I have many cases with jumper services also, so many cases that we could mention working with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation.

My main use case for Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is segmenting legacy operating systems.

I use Akamai Guardicore Segmentation to segment legacy operating systems because they do not support our EDR tools due to their age, and I chose Akamai Guardicore because its agents support very old systems that need to be segmented from the rest of the network.

We are mainly using it for legacy systems.

We were using Akamai Guardicore Segmentation for micro-segmentation with Zero Trust. It's a process-level segmentation that functions just like a firewall.

I use Akamai Guardicore Segmentation to block lateral movement of malicious software like ransomware. This is very important to protect my business and my corporation.

I create labels for any assets to create rule sets in Guardicore Center with the configuration.

The logs and network logs provide visibility that is very important for my business and my corporate entity. We use microsegmentation by environment. I do segmentation for production, homologation, and development. It is very important.

Today, I have segmentation for Kubernetes in Guardicore, but I have problems with Guardicore with segmentation for Kubernetes because it is connected to SaaS. This is very important because we have projects starting in Kubernetes in my enterprise.

Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is deployed in my organization on a hybrid cloud because 99% is on a private cloud computer.

I usually recommend Akamai Guardicore Segmentation for larger companies, as we started to work with Guardicore before the acquisition and then moved to distribute Akamai. Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is not a simple solution for the Italian market because we are suffering from nanism; the majority of our companies have under 1,000 employees. Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is enterprise software, but they are pretty good in that area.

It is more suitable for bigger companies. The reasons are not solely about pricing; it is also about the knowledge of the security manager in companies across Italy. For example, a small company with 500 employees might have a limited budget for cybersecurity and typically does not consider micro-segmentation as a primary solution. They may manage cybersecurity issues effectively with their existing LAN setup until they grow larger and face more complexity, which is why micro-segmentation becomes necessary. However, in Italy, it is not as well-known as in other markets due to the customer base.

We want segmentation for a data center, and we have the problem that we cannot change IP addresses within the data center. So we need a solution. With the Guardicore solution, we can keep the IP addresses. 

Additionally, we get agent-based segmentation, and we don’t have to change anything on the network. These are the main reasons why we chose Guardicore for micro-segmentation.

In India, one use case is in the banking industry. In general, one customer used it for microsegmentation deployed across four locations. 

Another used it for telemetry and microsegmentation. These were deployments for customers in India and the Philippines.

The workloads have been seamlessly integrated for segmentation. The network has been transited smoothly. So, the integration was straightforward and without major issues.

We are using it to segregate all of our different environments: staging, production, QA, as well as our applications. We are essentially replacing our traditional, internal firewalls and depending completely on Guardicore to secure all of our applications.

In our company, we have a data center that has approximately 200 servers running Nutanix. We wanted to protect these servers from both internal and external attacks. By implementing Guardicore Centra, it has given us defense against attacks from the outside, as well as those that originate from inside of the organization.

We protect Microsoft machines, as well as some that are running Linux. We also have an SAP HANA database that is protected by Guardicore.

We are trying to centralize our firewalling as well as provide application segmentation and environment segmentation.

We have a couple of aggregators onsite and the rest are on the cloud.

The primary use case was for segmentation.

The range of platforms and operating systems that the solution covers seems good. Currently, we use it for all our Linux operating systems and some of our Windows environment.

We just deployed agents to Guardicore in our data center.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

We are using Guardicore Centra mostly for security. I work in the cyber security department at MONEX, and we use this solution mostly for visibility. The product offers good visibility of what is going on in the network and the connections that the servers are making, regardless of the platform that they are on. They could be on-premise, on the cloud, or virtual.

I'm recently working on micro-segmentation of our principal payment applications, like SWIFT.

We are a partner, not a customer. We would like to be in a position of trying to provide consultation for this solution and delivery of the product to clients. So, we have partnered with Guardicore in India and we are trying to sell this product and that is our primary use case. The primary use case that we are implementing this product for with clients is micro-segmentation.
