Anz Sales DirectorColortokens Inc. Mar 2024 - PresentSan Jose, California, UsColorTokens’ Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform compliments and extends your cyber strategy with a defense-in-depth approach. It’s a foundational part of a Zero Trust Architecture. It goes beyond perimeter firewalls, VLAN segmentation and anti-virus solutions by enforcing micro-perimeters around all your resources, applications, and devices. It prevents malware and ransomware from spreading despite a breach by stopping unauthorized lateral traffic. Xshield makes you breach-ready so you can continue operations despite the inevitable attack.At ColorTokens we have built the only microsegmentation solution designed to help organizations protectthemselves at all points of breach so there are no soft spots in your defense. Xshield lets you configure and control multiple types of policy enforcement points, both agent-based and agentless, from a unified administration console, reducing complexity and saving on staffing and training. The traffic policies you configure in the Xshield console are automatically expressed in the rules formats required by the different enforcement points. The policy enforcement points that are controlled by the Xshield Seas-based policy engine include:- For Datacenter servers, VMs and user endpoints: the lightweight Xshield agent enforces your traffic policies by configuring the host-based OS firewalls on Windows and Linux computers.- For Kubernetes containers: agentless enforcement using a sidecar proxy leveraging the existing service mesh architecture (such as Istio Envoy).- For IoT and OT devices: the Xshield Gateway Appliance allows you to control traffic to microsegment IoT and OT devices on which no agent can be installed.- For Legacy OS devices: devices in your environment that have out-of-support operating systems, but which are still important to your business processes can be microsegmented in an agentless way using the Xshield Gateway Appliance. -
