02Microsegmentation
Microsegmentation: contain the breach, not just the perimeter.
Discovery, design and enforcement of fine-grained policy between servers, applications and devices across the data centre and cloud, delivered on Akamai Guardicore Segmentation, so each workload talks only to what it needs.
The challenge
Inside a flat network, one foothold reaches everything.
Most traffic now moves east-west between servers, not in and out through the perimeter firewall. Once an attacker or ransomware is inside, broad internal access lets them spread from one system to the next.
Traditional VLANs and firewall rules are too coarse and too slow to change, and few teams have a clear map of which applications actually need to talk to each other.
What we deliver
Capabilities across the full lifecycle
- 01
Traffic discovery
Akamai Guardicore agents and network sensors map application flows between workloads, so policy is based on observed dependencies rather than assumptions.
- 02
Segmentation design
Environments, applications and tiers grouped into segments with clear rules for what may connect to what.
- 03
Policy enforcement
Rules enforced by Akamai Guardicore on each workload, independent of the underlying network, across Windows, Linux, legacy systems and containers.
- 04
Hybrid coverage
Consistent policy across on-premises data centres, virtualised platforms and public cloud workloads.
- 05
Staged rollout
Policies run in monitor mode first, then enforced application by application, so nothing breaks unannounced.
- 06
Ongoing tuning
New applications, changes and exceptions reviewed and kept in policy as the estate evolves.
How we work
One engagement model, from first assessment to daily operation.
- 01
Assess
We start from your real environment: current architecture, constraints, risks and what the business needs next.
- 02
Design
An architecture that fits how you work, with the trade-offs and costs made explicit before anything is built.
- 03
Deliver
Built, integrated and tested in stages, with documentation and a rollback plan for every change.
- 04
Operate
Supported go-live, then run by your team, ours or both, with monitoring and reporting agreed up front.
Free, no obligation
Free infrastructure health check
Before you commit to a Microsegmentation project, start with an engineering review of what you run today.
- 01
Tell us about your estate
Share what you run, what is changing and what is worrying you, on a call or through the form.
- 02
An engineer reviews it with you
One of our engineers walks through the relevant platforms with your team.
- 03
Get prioritised findings
Risks, gaps and quick wins, ranked by impact, that you can act on with or without us.
Why bits&BYTE
Your Security & Our Vigilance.
Zero Trust inside the network
Microsegmentation applies least-privilege access between workloads, complementing secure access for users.
Built by network engineers
Segmentation is designed with the switching, firewalls and cloud networking behind it, not in isolation.
Evidence for audit
Documented segments and enforced policy support regulatory and audit requirements for isolating critical systems.
