Avocado vs. 12Port Horizon

Mitigate lateral movement and safeguard against data breaches with Avocado’s groundbreaking agentless, application-native security solution that delivers unparalleled visibility. This security architecture prioritizes both simplicity and scalability, utilizing runtime policies and pico-segmentation to protect applications with precision. By creating finely-tuned perimeters around subprocesses, it effectively addresses threats at their most detailed level. The solution integrates runtime controls seamlessly into application subprocesses, enabling self-learning mechanisms for threat detection and automated responses, irrespective of the programming language or system architecture employed. Moreover, it automatically shields against internal attacks without necessitating manual intervention, ensuring a low incidence of false positives. Unlike traditional agent-based detection methods that depend on signatures, memory, and behavioral analysis, which struggle with broad attack surfaces and ongoing lateral threats, Avocado’s approach offers a more robust defense. Without a fundamental transformation in attack detection methodologies, vulnerabilities, including zero-day exploits and configuration flaws, will continue to go unchecked. Thus, adopting an advanced, proactive security model is crucial for sustaining effective defenses in the intricate digital landscape we navigate today. Embracing innovative technologies can empower organizations to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Our agentless solution facilitates swift segmentation of network workloads while restricting unauthorized traffic, thereby effectively thwarting lateral movement and potential breaches. As the protection of IT assets across various environments—be it physical, virtual, or cloud—becomes increasingly complex, conventional security strategies often fail to keep pace with the growing sophistication of threats. By employing microsegmentation, we can effectively isolate workloads and scrutinize east-west traffic, which prevents attackers from expanding their influence into critical systems and significantly enhances overall network security. Organizations can establish and apply security policies that are guided by asset classification through the implementation of hierarchical taxonomies and tagging methods. Moreover, by enforcing rigorous access controls and maintaining constant monitoring of service traffic, our strategy adheres to zero trust principles, creating a robust security framework that is also flexible. The 12Port Horizon is engineered with an agentless design that simplifies both deployment and maintenance across every type of environment, whether it be physical, virtual, or in the cloud, all without adding extra complexity. This cutting-edge platform not only improves security but also equips organizations with the necessary agility to effectively tackle new and emerging threats in a timely manner. Ultimately, the combination of these features positions the 12Port Horizon as a pivotal tool for forward-thinking security strategies.
