Overview

Alcide provides a unified set of security policies for apps, infrastructure and external services which reside together in today’s cloud environment. With Alcide, customers can strengthen their security posture by gaining full visibility into their complex data centers, receive alerts of abnormal activity, and isolate individual application issues so they do not affect the entire network. With the ability to monitor any cloud-compute combination of container, VM, service-mesh and serverless, Alcide’s platform provides DevOps and Sec teams with the ability to see the full physical layer and service connectivity map as well as manage, define and implement platform policies and security groups. The cloud-native security platform provides a single view into distributed and cloud-native environments. Alcide’s Microservices Firewall enables application-aware security controls for cloud infrastructure, all workloads and external service mesh against different attack scenarios, including malicious internal activity, lateral movement and data exfiltration. Alcide’s embedded policies enable DevOps to define network policies during build time. This grants new workloads the ability to gain immediate access for normal runtime operation. The platform also provides a simplified dashboard with consolidated security policies, all of the inbound and outbound rules to users and giving them and better vantage point to enforce policies across the cloud infrastructure and across microservices.
