Guardicore, the segmentation company disrupting the legacy firewall market, announced today that it has achieved the AWS Outposts Ready designation, part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Service Ready Program. This designation recognizes that the Guardicore Centra segmentation platform has demonstrated successful integration with AWS Outposts deployments. AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid experience.
Achieving the AWS Outposts Ready designation differentiates Guardicore as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member with a product fully tested and certified on AWS Outposts. AWS Outposts Ready products are generally available and supported for AWS customers, with clear deployment documentation for AWS Outposts. AWS Service Ready Partners have demonstrated success building products integrated with AWS services, helping AWS customers evaluate and use their technology productively, at scale and varying levels of complexity.
“We know the importance of helping customers and organizations more easily identify potential security risks in order to take action,” said Joshua Burgin, General Manager, AWS Outposts, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “With Guardicore Centra available to customers on AWS Outposts, we are able to provide a comprehensive view of (a customer’s) security posture on their infrastructure, on AWS Outposts, and in AWS Regions both on-premises and in the cloud for a truly consistent hybrid experience.”
“Guardicore is proud to be an early adopter of AWS Outposts and achieve AWS Service Ready status,” said Sharon Besser, VP, Business Development, Guardicore. “We are continually evolving the Guardicore Centra platform to secure modern cloud and hybrid environments, allowing companies to reduce the attack surface and protect critical applications wherever they may be. AWS is at the cutting edge in expanding its cloud and compute services to a variety of customer environments and we look forward to supporting AWS Outposts.”
To support the seamless integration and deployment of AWS Outposts ready solutions, AWS established the AWS Outposts Ready Program to help customers identify products integrated with AWS Outposts and spend less time evaluating new tools, and more time scaling their use of products that are integrated with AWS Outposts deployments.
Guardicore delivers segmentation in the simplest and most effective way. The company’s segmentation controls are applied at the workload level, preventing east-west attacks and enforcing zero-trust security across all critical assets and applications. Achieving AWS Outposts Ready designation ensures Guardicore customers will receive superior visibility and workload protection whether they are operating on-premises, in the public cloud or at the edge.
“Visibility, to me, means being able to see the traffic patterns, the communication flow between the systems, and knowing what’s going on in the cloud,” said Scott T. Nichols, Director of Global Product Privacy and Cybersecurity, Beckman Coulter. “That’s really what I saw as the strength in Guardicore Centra.”
