Revealing GuardiCore Reveal™

Process level visibility like you’ve never seen before.

By Lior Neudorfer, GuardiCore Reveal Product Manager

For the last year or so, we’ve been hard at work building GuardiCore Reveal™, our Data Center Visibility platform. As we’ve officially released it earlier this week, I’m finally allowed to tell you all about it (and, yes, show off a bit!).

Do you really know what’s going on in your Data Center?

When we started having conversations with Data Center administrators, devops and security teams, we realized that while security was in everyone’s mind, a far more basic need wasn’t being fulfilled. Teams whose daily job is maintaining data centers didn’t have the tool to answer two simple questions:

Which applications are running in my Data Center? How are these apps talking to each other, and with the Internet?

These questions weren’t asked out of pure curiosity; answering them is crucial to better maintain and secure data centers.

So we’ve built the perfect tool to answer them, and act upon these answers.

GuardiCore to the rescue

We’ve developed a beautiful, robust platform which collects, stores and displays a comprehensive visual map of applications running in your data center:

Data Center teams are now able to fully reveal the application flows in their infrastructure. With this information, teams are better equipped to segment data centers, identify bad configurations which weaken security postures, and get a better understanding of suspicious and malicious activity.

And unlike other “application aware” solutions, we actually identify the exact process running the application — including its entire context, such as username, full path, command line arguments and checksum.
