Akamai Guardicore Segmentation Primary Use Case
My main use case for Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is for micro-segmentation and east-west traffic control across data center and cloud workloads, which helps ensure zero trust policies, isolate critical applications, and prevent lateral movement, improving security posture in multi-customer environments.
For example, using Akamai Guardicore Segmentation, we segmented a three-tier application by allowing only required ports between tiers and blocking all other east-west traffic, which prevented lateral movement from compromised web servers to databases, significantly reducing attack surface and improving security compliance.
View full review »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.

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.

View full review »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 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 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.

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.
This solution will be implemented in several environments for our collaborators.
