How ColorTokens’ Xshield Zero Trust enables a game-changer, sophisticated enterprise security for micro-segmentation and cloud migration security that helps your business grow
Rajneesh Kaul, Senior Product Manager, ColorTokens
Security professionals are appalled at the challenge of securing infrastructure with massive micro-segmentation and zero trust architecture. Especially as Cloud migration It has become a fundamental journey for companies to innovate, compete and grow. As infrastructure grows and more is being distributed, micro-segmentation projects are slowly becoming daunting – so far.
With the awardees Xshield, Security teams can speed up their micro-segmentation timeline from a few months to just weeks, quickly securing the enterprise environment. This latest iteration of Xshield enables enterprise security teams to secure workloads across fast, effortless, and scalable distributed hybrid infrastructure.
This year, Forrester New Wave 6: Microsegmentation, Q1 2022 ColorTokens is known as a powerful performer among the 9 most notable microsegmentation providers, according to Forrester. Many of these 9 vendors have paved the way for microsegmentation, but we believe that ColorTokens is paving the way forward.
We designed Xshield to achieve three primary goals:
- Discover on-premises and cloud resources in minutes
- Apply machine-learning cyber security to create automated recommendations within days
- Integrate with instant plug-ins into the enterprise environment
By achieving each of these goals, Xshield Zero Trust is turning micro-segmentation superpowers into reality:
Micro-segmentation Power eliminates manual work and creates greater network visibility
In addition to automated micro-segmentation, enterprise security teams must spend considerable time and energy creating manual tags, identifying sections, and securing workloads. This means investing time, resources and expensive talent in a manual process that opens up the possibility of mistakes that could have major consequences.
With Xshield, security teams can search, identify, classify and classify assets in seconds. As a software-based solution, once the platform is deployed in the enterprise environment, it will first automatically map the entire network to get an idea of ​​resources and their location, then segregate them based on business groups such as CRM or HR applications. Once the business assets are categorized, the entire network of business and security leaders is visibley See where and how their network works.
Automated access policies enable easy scalability of cyber security and overall operations
Setting up an access policy in a traditional environment is another very difficult process. Security teams usually spend hours setting the policy for the server and manually create the same policy every time a new server is added to the same environment.
Xshield’s machine learning-based policy engine, on the other hand, fully automates the segment’s definition, policy-making and management journey – speeding up the process from month to day. Once the discovery phase (mapping, tagging, and visualizing network traffic) is complete, Xshield’s machine-learning cybersecurity technology then analyzes the traffic patterns to create the proposed access policies. And whenever you add or remove a server, the policy is automatically updated on that machine, eliminating the need to reconfigure the policies for each new resource. By removing the barriers to creating policies for hundreds or thousands of new servers, businesses can easily scale not only their cyber security, but also their operations as a whole.
Instant integration means enterprises can better protect valuable data and intellectual property.
Most initiatives rely on a set of security dashboards to map user activity logs (when users log in, log out, and from where). These logs are collected every day, creating an irresistible number of alarms for administrators who then struggle to distinguish criticism from non-critical warnings.
However, with an enterprise cybersecurity tool Which can instantly integrate, security teams can gain a comprehensive view of their vulnerabilities in a single SIEM dashboard on their existing infrastructure. Since Xshield helps you identify important assets of your infrastructure and microsegment them based on business functions, our public API plugs into existing systems, collects these traditionally separate security logs and populates them into a dashboard. Everything is easily available in one place, so leaders and security teams do not have to combine data from multiple different systems to get a comprehensive view of network security.
Outside of a surface-level display, the API allows deep dives when plugging it into any system. An immediate and integrated view of who is accessing what, where, when, and for what purpose makes it easy and efficient for security administrators responsible for monitoring an organization’s network security and protecting valuable data and intellectual property.
At the end of the day, Xshield’s technological advancement ensured a smooth transition to the cloud, which is essential in today’s world. Easy transfer of resources to the cloud with proper mapping, tagging, policy, and network visibility means easy implementation of the Zero Trust architecture, enabling Xshield enterprises to do this without interrupting day-to-day operations. Basically, the platform makes it easy Zero Trust micro-segmentation journey Efficient, measurable, Cloud delivery cyber security Software that gives the right information to the right people at the right time.
We will hang out at RSA at South Hall Booth # 1861 in the Moscow Center
