Infrastructure Protection

🎯 Use Cases

Zero Trust is often discussed in terms of identity and access — but the principle of "never trust, always verify" applies equally to infrastructure and applications. As organizations adopt hybrid architectures, migrate workloads to the cloud, and open their networks to third parties, the traditional perimeter has dissolved. Applications are exposed to the internet, cloud workloads are spun up and down dynamically, sensitive data flows through email and SaaS platforms, and critical OT environments must exchange data with IT systems — all while threat actors increasingly exploit every layer of the stack, from volumetric DDoS floods to living-off-the-land attacks inside containers.

Effective infrastructure and application protection under a Zero Trust model requires defense-in-depth: enforcing policy at the network edge, inspecting east-west and north-south traffic, controlling what data can leave the organization, and maintaining real-time visibility into cloud workloads and critical network segments. It also means extending these controls to environments where traditional security tooling cannot reach — including air-gapped OT networks and high-sensitivity classified zones.

Key challenges this service pillar addresses:

• Containing threats that bypass perimeter controls through sophisticated phishing, malicious attachments, or web-based exploit delivery
• Protecting public-facing applications and DNS infrastructure against volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks
• Enforcing data governance and access control across cloud applications and SaaS platforms where the organization has limited native visibility
• Detecting and responding to runtime threats inside containers, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud workloads before they escalate
• Enabling controlled, secure data exchange between IT and OT environments without exposing either network to lateral movement
• Maintaining continuous traffic visibility and anomaly detection across network segments for SOC-ready telemetry

🛠️ Solution Features

DDoS Protection

• Always-on DDoS defense continuously monitoring traffic at the network edge to identify and mitigate malicious activity before it reaches infrastructure, protecting against Layer 3, 4, and 7 attacks.
• Industry-leading 3-second mitigation SLA for Layers 3 and 4, with a global network of scrubbing centers ensuring minimal latency and optimal performance regardless of attack origin.
• DDoS protection for websites, networks, and DNS to ensure business continuity with guaranteed uptime, complemented by WAF, API security, and advanced bot protection capabilities.

‍Network Protection & Threat Detection

• Next-generation firewall with synchronized security, enabling devices to share threat intelligence in real time and automatically isolate compromised endpoints from the network.
• Intrusion Detection & Prevention (IDS/IPS) for inline traffic inspection, detecting known exploits, malicious patterns, and protocol anomalies across network segments.
• Network Detection & Response (NDR) for east-west traffic visibility, behavioral baselining, and detection of lateral movement that perimeter tools miss.
• IT/OT Network Isolation with electronic AirGap technology providing secure bidirectional communication by logically isolating IT and OT networks — including SCADA, OT, IT, and DCS systems — while still allowing essential data to pass through safely. Hardware-based architecture that destroys transport layer protocol stacks, preventing any attack at Layers 1–4 of the OSI model — a guarantee that software-based solutions cannot provide. Supports both unidirectional and bidirectional data flow modes, file transfer, and network stream transport, configurable to match the sensitivity requirements of each network zone.

Web & Email Content Filtering

• Secure Web Gateway (SWG)  enforcing acceptable use policies and blocking access to malicious, compromised, or non-compliant web destinations.
• Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) providing visibility and control over cloud applications, detecting shadow IT, managing user privileges, monitoring user activity, enforcing security policies, and identifying sensitive data across cloud platforms.‍
• ‍Full SSE platform integrating CASB, ZTNA, Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and full Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) capabilities.
• Secure Email Gateway (SEG) providing dmarc protection, anti-phishing, anti-spam, sandboxing, encryption and impersonation protection, on-premises or cloud-based (API).
