Overview

ColorTokens, a leading provider of Zero Trust microsegmentation, is the only platform that offers cost-effective and comprehensive Zero Trust cybersecurity protection across enterprises’ diverse networks. The cloud-based SaaS platform allows customers to quickly realize the benefit of Zero Trust without any new hardware, downtime, or changes to an existing system.

ColorTokens’ Xshield takes a progressive approach to microsegmentation to overcome challenges in Zero Trust security adoption, show immediate improvement in an organization’s security posture, and comply with regulatory cybersecurity mandates, all while providing the overall resiliency that stakeholders demand.

Xshield allows customers to simplify their Zero Trust architecture journey and leverage automation for easier implementation by providing the following capabilities:
· Heuristic and machine learning recommendations: User-friendly suggestions reduce the effort needed to adopt security measures.
· Automated tags and templates: Streamline policy assignment for new assets across large environments
· Pre-defined and custom templates: Automated policy creation based on best practices ensures consistency and robust security throughout the organization
· Change management support: Draft-mode policies, simulations, and streamlined approval processes facilitate seamless transitions, and reduces the risk of errors
· Collaborative annotations: Concise contextual insights during Zero Trust policy crafting to foster collaboration for effective implementation of security
· True simulation mode: Simulating firewall rules without enforcement reduces the chances of blocking legitimate network traffic, preventing application disruption
· Enhanced diagnostic capabilities: Centralized firewall and agent log collection minimizes communication delays improve incident investigation and response time

ColorTokens’ Xshield platform makes it easy for enterprises to deploy Zero Trust microsegmentation at scale. The platform helps security teams address challenges with confidence, by automating, simplifying and accelerating their Zero Trust microsegmentation journey.

Key Capabilities / Features

Microsegmentation is a foundational element of Zero Trust security, preventing malware and ransomware from spreading by stopping unauthorized lateral traffic between network resources and preventing catastrophic damage that can occur as a result. As a defense-in-depth strategy, it goes beyond perimeter firewalls, VLAN segmentation, and anti-virus solutions by enforcing micro-perimeters around all resources, applications, and endpoints.


ColorTokens’ Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform allows users to:
• Visualize network assets, applications, and dependencies with multi-dimensional flexibility, uncovering misconfigurations that expose organizations to risk.
• Use a single-pane-of-glass approach to administer microsegmentation for all possible points of breach: data center servers, cloud workloads, user endpoints, Kubernetes containers, OT/IoT devices, and even legacy OS devices.
• Centrally control multiple policy enforcement points for all types of resources: the hundreds (or thousands) of host-based OS firewalls in an environment, Kubernetes service mesh sidecar proxies for containerized applications, and the Xshield Gateway for IoT, OT, legacy OS devices, or wherever agentless enforcement is preferred.
• Immediately increase security posture with enterprise-wide controls on high-risk ports and sensitive flows—and progress to continuous security improvement with fine-grained application-specific controls.
• Use risk-scoring dashboards for progress reporting to the C-suite, line-of-business leaders, the Board of Directors, and regulatory oversight.
• Use Xshield’s non-disruptive workflow for implementing microsegmentation. It separates policy authoring from policy push and stimulates policies on historical data before enforcement.
• Leverage automated templates to help organizations define traffic policies to instantly shut down the spread of malware in the event of a breach.


How we are different

● With Xshield microsegmentation technology, customers can gain visibility across their entire networks, control user access to network resources, and completely block lateral traffic of malware and ransomware.
● Xshield provides a quick and cost-effective security solution that gives users immediate improvement in their cybersecurity posture in just a few hours.
● As a software-only solution, it eliminates the time and costs of capacity planning, hardware provisioning, installation, and configuration, and the on-going upgrades and maintenance effort needed by other solutions.
