ColorTokens

Cyberthreats are getting bolder with every breach. Dynamic data centres, distributed workloads, vulnerable endpoints and complex application landscape expose organizations to malicious intents. Digital transformation and journey to cloud need the vigilance and alacrity of zero trust security. Your business is secure with ColorTokens’ solutions that identify and eliminate uncertainty in enforcing security rules in an increasingly complex digital world. The shift from the “trust but verify” to “never trust, always verify” security model is inevitable for impregnable cybersecurity. The legacy “castle and moat” approach to cyber defence is redundant for enterprises on the growth path with cloud-first initiatives. ColorTokens simplifies, accelerates and automates your security operations with our award- winning Xtended Zero Trust Platform.

ColorTokens’ unique Zero Trust approach gives you 360º visualization, micro-segmentation and complete enforcement of your environment within weeks, not months. From data centers to hybrid to multi-cloud to applications, users and devices, ColorTokens quickly defend you against ransomware, unauthorized lateral movement and zero-day attacks. ColorTokens’ platform integrates smoothly with your existing security tools and ensures that absolutely nothing is left to chance.

Cloud Workload Protection for Public Cloud

Enterprises implementing “cloud-first” initiatives need complete visibility into and protect application workloads in their dynamic public cloud infrastructure. Compliance with industry regulations demands consistent security policies for cloud workloads. In addition, a breach could affect one of the host clouds, increasing security risks to other applications and workloads. Enterprises need cybersecurity solutions that help reduce the risk of data breaches due to unauthorized workload access within a multi-vendor public cloud environment. Xshield delivers complete network visibility and security for enterprise workloads in a public cloud environment based on zero trust architecture. It is platform-independent and provides workload protection in minutes. Xshield reduces the attack surface, improves the overall cloud security posture, and secures dynamic workloads as they move across a multi-vendor cloud environment and data centers. Xshield enforces least-privilege zero trust policies that dynamically adapt to cloud environment architecture changes and updates, while remaining compliant.

Xshield is vendor-agnostic and can protect resources across a multi-cloud environment. Protected assets can be a cloud-hosted virtual machine, container, or instance. Xshield’s ultra-lightweight agent is deployed easily with a centralized dashboard that collects telemetry data from workloads to deliver instant visibility into risk posture and enable fast implementation of dynamic policies. Micro-segmentation significantly reduces cloud workload exposure by protecting against East-West lateral attacks, residual risks, and other insider threats, a key pillar of zero trust architecture. Least-privilege security policies applied individually to every cloud workload minimize the attack surface by limiting communication to only trusted entities so they can function and provide services.

Secure Remote Access to Applications

Digital transformation efforts have led to most enterprises having applications, services and data distributed across data centers and public cloud. Traditional network-centric approaches such as VPNs for remote access are ill-suited for new business scenarios where there are more applications and data outside the network than inside. Further, VPNs deliver wide open access to all applications inside the network, vastly increasing the potential for lateral movement and breaches. VPNs cannot enforce per-application access based on identity, thereby exposing large attack surfaces to malicious actors. ColorTokens Xaccess enables Zero Trust-based application-centric access for enterprises, avoiding the security risks associated with network-centric access. Xaccess offers higher security, lower complexity, and an enhanced user experience for today’s business scenarios that cannot be addressed by VPNs. Xaccess provides Zero Trust-based (Never Trust, Always Verify) secure remote access to specific applications even on the same network segments. The connection is allowed only after authenticating the user’s identity and verifying the device security posture. Users are only permitted to access the applications that they are authorized to access, based on least privilege policies. With Xaccess, applications are never exposed to the internet and are hidden from bad actors and unauthorized users.

Unlike traditional VPNs that are complex to administer and provide a poor user experience, Xaccess provides significant benefits in user experience, agility, adaptability and ease of policy management. Cloud-based Xaccess places the security controls where the users and applications are - in the cloud. For cloud or on-premises applications the same granular access control is enforced with the same interface, making the user experience seamless and effortless, regardless of the location, network and application being accessed. This normalizes the user experience – on-prem or off-prem. 100% cloud-delivered and SaaS-based, Xaccess delivers scalability, low latency and low complexity. Deployed in minutes and simple to manage, the benefits of Xaccess are immediate. There is no VPN or appliance required, and no changes to firewall or network configurations. Users can access specific applications for which they authorized and are automatically connected to applications after successful authentication.
