With Guardicore Centra™ Version 4.0 Release 31, we’re continuing to expand our firewall capabilities while making it even simpler for you to build and enforce a segmentation policy. Some of the highlights of the release include the addition of:
1. User Identity Rules:
Users can now control user access to data center and cloud resources. This is done by integrating with Active Directory security groups. Based on user memberships in those security groups, Guardicore Centra™ allows users different access to different resources, assuring that users only access what they are entitled to.
2. Domain-Based Segmentation Rules:
Users are able to create policies that allow access to a specific domain by its domain name rather than its IPs, which saves the time and hassle of collecting and validating all possible IPs accessing your environments.
3. Threat Intelligence-Based Firewall:
Guardicore is offering a threat intelligence-based firewall to Centra™ SaaS users. This feature uses Guardicore’s threat intelligence sensors, distributed across major cloud providers worldwide, to create blacklists of verified malicious IP addresses. Updated daily, these IP blacklists are automatically fed into Centra™ to create rules to alert and block communications via malicious IP labels: top attackers, top scanners, and top CnC. To get this feature, contact Guardicore Customer Success at support@guardicore.com.
4. Extended Support for Legacy Systems:
Guardicore has expanded its operating system coverage for Unix, Linux and Windows systems and applications. With Version 31, the Guardicore Agent supports more legacy operating systems such as Redhat, Oracle and Centos 5, and has also extended its support to AIX which is a proprietary UNIX operating system commonly used by enterprise customers. Now we have the ability to extend our policy coverage to these OSes and reduce the risk they may pose.
