My main use case for Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is segmenting legacy operating systems. I use Akamai Guardicore Segmentation to segment legacy operating systems because they do not support our EDR tools due to their age, and I chose Akamai Guardicore because its agents support very old systems that need to be segmented from the rest of the network. We are mainly using it for legacy systems.
We want segmentation for a data center, and we have the problem that we cannot change IP addresses within the data center. So we need a solution. With the Guardicore solution, we can keep the IP addresses. Additionally, we get agent-based segmentation, and we don’t have to change anything on the network. These are the main reasons why we chose Guardicore for micro-segmentation.
In India, one use case is in the banking industry. In general, one customer used it for microsegmentation deployed across four locations. Another used it for telemetry and microsegmentation. These were deployments for customers in India and the Philippines. The workloads have been seamlessly integrated for segmentation. The network has been transited smoothly. So, the integration was straightforward and without major issues.
