Sie möchten Ihre IT/OT zuverlässig absichern – ohne komplizierte Netzwerkumbauten?

In diesem Webinar erfahren Sie, wie Unternehmen mit softwarebasierter Segmentierung Sicherheitsrisiken nachhaltig reduzieren.

Klassische Firewalls sichern Netzwerksegmente und Übergänge zuverlässig ab. Doch sobald es um interne Kommunikation zwischen Systemen geht, stoßen sie an Grenzen: Feingranulare Steuerung erfordert komplexe IP-Architekturen und disruptive Netzwerkumbauten. Für moderne, heterogene Umgebungen mit Servern, Clients, VDI, Cloud, Kubernetes und OT ist dieser Ansatz oft zu schwerfällig.

Mit Akamai Guardicore setzen Sie eine einheitliche Segmentierungslösung ein, die sich softwarebasiert, flexibel und infrastrukturunabhängig in bestehende Netze integrieren lässt. Anstatt Routing oder IP-Konzepte umzustellen, können Sie phasenweise und bedarfsgerecht starten: erst Sichtbarkeit schaffen, dann gezielt interne Übergänge kontrollieren – bis hin zur vollständigen Zero-Trust-Segmentierung.

Das erwartet Sie im Webinar:
 • Ganzheitliche Segmentierung: eine Plattform für Server, Clients, VDI, Cloud, Kubernetes & OT
 • Zero Trust in der Praxis: Angreiferbewegungen stoppen, bevor Schaden entsteht
 • Volle Transparenz: Echtzeit-Visualisierung sämtlicher Kommunikationsflüsse – auch zwischen IT und OT
 • Compliance vereinfachen: Reports und Nachweise auf Knopfdruck
 • Praxisnahe Einblicke und Live-Demo
