In sectors like banking and financial services, Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is crucial for implementing Zero Trust models and enhancing server-to-server segmentation. These industries utilize its capabilities to replace traditional firewalls and manage complex environments, boosting security through application dependency mapping and optimized east-west traffic control.
NetFoundry is the leader in Zero Trust Workload Connectivity, trusted to securely connect enterprise’s most critical workloads, within and across any environment.
As the only identity-first fabric for every AI, API, site, container, and machine interaction, NetFoundry customers deploy their workloads with greater speed, security and scalability.
Its Identity-First Reachability™ eliminates the reachable attack surface that attackers exploit and defenders struggle to secure, by removing open inbound ports, VPNs and firewall rule changes. By design, it enables security to adapt to the environment, not force the environment to adapt to security, so teams can secure one workload at a time without the high cost of firewall management or redesigning the network.
Customers use NetFoundry to:
- Govern AI agent, model and tool access to cut risks, costs, and time to deploy.
- Stop lateral movement through microsegmentation
- Protect difficult to patch assets and crown jewel systems with a compensating control
- Securely connect any system (IT/OT/IoT) or API wherever it operates
Founded by the inventors and maintainers of OpenZiti, the world’s most widely used open source Zero Trust platform, NetFoundry secures billions of sessions for critical infrastructure on three continents and supports Fortune 10 companies across regulated industries including healthcare, financial services, and energy.
