Corporate networks are typically flat, open environments vulnerable to unauthorized access to business-critical data, personal information and intellectual property. Traditional firewalls protect the enterprise perimeter from attack, but their use in securing servers and data within the corporate network is a costly and complex venture that limits the flexibility of the enterprise. Alternative solutions such as NAC and personal firewalls control admission to the corporate network and basic access control, but do little to isolate servers and data within the perimeter.
Cross-Platform Server Isolation
Apani® EpiForce® proactively eliminates vulnerabilities within the corporate network by isolating into security zones computers and the business-critical data, personal information and intellectual property stored on them. Once computers are isolated in zones, EpiForce strictly controls access to these zones and optionally and selectively encrypts communications between the computers in them, regardless of platform or the physical location of the computers themselves. This layered approach proactively mitigates risk in the event a breach should occur.
EpiForce provides cross-platform server isolation through a software-based architecture that enables two critical disciplines:
- Logical Security Zoning enables a large, flat corporate network to be separated into isolated security zones without reconfiguring the network and without regard to physical location. Computers are assigned membership into one or more logical security zones, creating a flexible, layered security approach within the corporate network. Zones can be easily changed, modified, expanded, or contracted based on business conditions transparent to the infrastructure, application, or user community.
- Policy-Based Encryption of Data in Motion enables encryption to be applied in a granular, port-level deployment, encrypting only those communications required to be confidential. EpiForce provides enterprises the ideal encryption option – strong security, no noticeable application performance impact and lower bandwidth requirements.
EpiForce is centrally administered. This enables global security or the capability to manage security policies for any computer or group of computers from anywhere through a single console.
EpiForce software resides on the server or endpoint and is available for a broad variety of operating systems. By operating at the network layer, it is transparent to users, applications and infrastructure – making EpiForce quicker to deploy and less costly to manage than any hardware-centric solution.
