Edgewise was founded in 2016 to eliminate the problems of data breach and application compromise against companies’ critical business applications. For far too long, flat, unsegmented networks have given attackers the ability to move laterally on companies’ unprotected network attack paths to reach vulnerable targets. Though microsegmentation is a well-known defense against unauthorized access, traditional microsegmentation using legacy VLANs, firewalls, and ACLs has proven too resource intensive and too complicated to implement and manage, resulting in too little security return on investment. Edgewise has flipped the switch on microsegmentation. With our patented Zero Trust Auto-Segmentation technology, we deliver impossibly simple microsegmentation. Driven by machine learning, it’s one-click microsegmentation with a security outcome that’s provable and “zero touch.” Reveal attack paths in your dynamic cloud, container, and on-premises data center environments, protect your business-critical applications in one click, and measure risk reduction with Edgewise’s identity-based protection...without any architectural changes to your network. Strong. Simple. Scalable.
