Drone for visibility of servers
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Guardicore is used across the organization. It helps in micro-segmentation and lateral movement. We are using across it across environments like UAT, Production, Development, etc. Gives very detailed information on the network flows along with services and port numbers on which it is communicating. Architecture is designed in a very simplified manner to understand. Network logs are also easy to understand and troubleshoot if required.
Pros
- Network traffic flow within environment of organization.
- Creating maps for visibility and drill down is a key feature.
- Labelling of servers can be done via running script.
- Alerts can be sensitized for the traffic not seen.
Cons
- Limited support to legacy infrastructure.
- Integration with third party is a bit tedious.
- Awaiting support for Kubernetes in the next version.
Likelihood to Recommend
This is the best possible solution for enterprise-level organizations where server counts will be in the thousands. To manage these and understand the communication can be very cumbersome without this tool. Ease of creation map zone and application-wise can be relaxing to OS teams and support teams as well. There is no limit to labeling schema of servers and it gives the freedom to do so.
