The biggest problem in security that remains unsolved is unprotected attack paths that allow threats to compromise vulnerable targets in the cloud and data center.
But traditional microsegmentation is too complex and time consuming, and offers limited value that’s hard to measure.
But there’s a better approach… Edgewise “Zero Trust Auto-Segmentation.”
Edgewise is impossibly simple microsegmentation … delivering results immediately, with a security outcome that’s provable, and management that’s zero touch.
At the core of Edgewise Auto-Segmentation is Zero Trust Identity, which automatically builds unique identities for all communicating software and devices by combining cryptographic properties of the workload with risk classifications.
Edgewise protects any application, in any environment, without any architectural changes. Edgewise provides measurable improvement by quantifying attack path risk reduction and demonstrates isolation between critical services—so that your applications can’t be breached.
Visit edgewise.net to find out more about how Edgewise can help stop data breaches.
