Case Study: Leading Regional Bank achieves rapid micro-segmentation and cloud-ready security with Guardicore

Regional Bank Selects Guardicore to Segment Critical Assets & Extend Security to Hybrid Cloud

Leading Regional Bank, a Midwestern regional bank in the Financial Services industry, needed to secure ten business-critical applications while reducing lateral movement risk and limiting third-party access. With cloud adoption planned for Microsoft Azure, the bank also needed a solution that could support a hybrid cloud environment. It turned to Guardicore Centra Security Platform to provide the visibility and segmentation needed to protect sensitive data and improve compliance.

Guardicore helped the bank replace slow, complex VLAN and firewall-based efforts with micro-segmentation, giving the team east-west traffic visibility, application dependency mapping, and policy control. The project, originally expected to take 18 months, was completed in just two months with a single architect and Guardicore Services, while also enabling faster migration to cloud workloads and improved threat detection for lateral traffic.
