Integration at a glance

The integration between Akamai Guardicore Segmentation and Cyera enables security teams to build micro-segmentation policies based on the actual data each workload hosts - combining Guardicore's Zero Trust enforcement with Cyera's data classification.
Customer Challenge

Segmentation policies are built on network topology, IP ranges, and subnets, with no awareness of the data behind them. Uniform controls leave sensitive workloads under-protected and over-permissive assets undetected. And identifying which VMs host regulated data is manual and lags behind infrastructure changes, hindering compliance with PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA.

Better Together

Cyera discovers and classifies the data on every cloud VM. Guardicore enforces Zero Trust micro-segmentation across workloads. Together: segmentation follows data sensitivity - stricter controls automatically apply to workloads hosting regulated data, grounded in real data risk rather than network topology alone.

Benefits of the Integration

Data-aware segmentation
Stricter controls are enforced automatically on workloads hosting sensitive data, without manual tagging
Continuous compliance
Policies stay aligned with PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA as Cyera's classifications update
Unified risk context
Sensitivity, data categories, compliance posture, and issue counts visible on assets in the Reveal map
Fewer policy blind spots
Surface high-sensitivity workloads that are over-permissive in the network
Faster incident triage
Know instantly whether an alerted workload hosts regulated data, without switching tools

How It Works

Cyera's data classifications flow automatically into Guardicore as workload labels, so segmentation policies can reflect the sensitivity of the data each VM actually holds.
01
Cyera classifies
Cyera discovers and classifies the datastores running on AWS EC2 and Azure VMs, identifying which machines hold sensitive data.
02
Sensitivity rolls up per VM
Classifications are aggregated per virtual machine, always reflecting the most sensitive data found on it, and kept current automatically - a daily full sync plus near-real-time updates throughout the day.
03
Labels land in Guardicore
Each VM in Guardicore's asset inventory is enriched with its sensitivity level, data categories and classes, and compliance posture, ready to use in policy.
04
Segmentation follows the data
Teams scope policies by data sensitivity directly from the Reveal map and asset view, and newly classified VMs inherit matching policies automatically on the next sync.
