Cisco Tetration
Workload Security
Cisco Tetration offers holistic workload protection for multicloud data centers by enabling a zero-trust model using segmentation. This approach allows you to identify security incidents faster, contain lateral movement, and reduce your attack surface. Tetration's infrastructure-agnostic approach supports both on-premises and public cloud workloads.

Capabilities
Get automated whitelist policy
Using real-time telemetry data from application components and behavior-analysis algorithms, get automated whitelist policy for segmentation. Track behavior changes to keep the policy up to date.
Enable a zero-trust model
Enforce consistent whitelist policy across on-premises data centers and public clouds to enable zero trust using application segmentation. Continuously monitor for compliance deviations and identify them in minutes in your production network.
Identify process behavior deviations
Baseline the behavior of the processes running on the servers. Identify behavior deviations matching malware-style execution. Detect latest events such as Spectre and Meltdown.
Detect software vulnerabilities
Get an accurate inventory of all software packages and version information installed on servers. Detect whether any packages have known CVEs associated, and define specific remediation actions.
Control user access to applications
Collect telemetry data from end points through Cisco AnyConnect. Enhance segmentation policy to restrict application access using user and user group information.
