Cyber Security Analyst finds Akamai Guardicore complex, seeks simpler policy management

Read at g2.com

What happened

A Cyber Security Analyst at a small business (50 or fewer employees) reports that while Akamai Guardicore Segmentation offers granular microsegmentation and good visibility, the platform is challenging to fully understand and organize. The number of communication flows and policy dependencies can become complex, requiring significant time for initial tuning and policy refinement. This complexity makes day-to-day administration difficult and suggests a need for simpler policy management and streamlined troubleshooting.

    “The main challenge is that the platform can take some time to fully understand and organize the environment before creating effective segmentation policies. In larger environments, the number of communication flows and policy dependencies can become complex to manage. The initial tuning and policy refinement also require careful monitoring to avoid unintentionally affecting legitimate application traffic.”
