Certes CryptoFlows are the industry’s first software-defined security solution for safeguarding enterprise applications over any network for any user on any device. They enable “frictionless enterprise” deployments of networked applications to be rolled out without increasing risk, while blocking the top attack vector used in hacking attacks worldwide: the compromise of low-privilege users and unfettered access to sensitive applications.
With Crypto-Segmentation, CryptoFlows automatically contain and constrain hackers exploiting compromised user credentials by blocking lateral movement from application to application. CryptoFlow solutions stop the top attack vector used in breach after breach in the recent high-profile hacking attacks around the globe. In these cases, hackers compromised the credentials of a single low privilege user or even an external contractor, then utilized these credentials to bypass firewalls, access enterprise applications and exploit vulnerabilities to jump to the sensitive applications containing the most valuable data or accessing most critical assets.
By enforcing role-based access control over all users for all applications, CryptoFlows ensure that users can access only the applications that they need to do their jobs. If a user is compromised, a hacker can gain access to only the narrow set of applications available to that user and the hacker is blocked from lateral movement to the more sensitive applications.
“Perimeter-based security is woefully inadequate for protecting today’s enterprise applications,” said industry analyst Jason Bloomberg, President of Intellyx & Contributor to Forbes. “The flexibility and fluidity of today’s borderless enterprise applications require an end-to-end rethink of security. Certes Networks’ approach for segmenting applications and networks closely aligns to how users and applications operate in the modern, digital IT environment.”
