Use Case


Block Lateral Movement in Ransomware & Malware

Sophisticated attackers target organizations to deploy ransomware and malware that can spread laterally and rapidly across networks, disrupting operations and compromising critical assets. By implementing advanced microsegmentation, organizations can prevent lateral movement, contain breaches, and ensure business continuity - even if an endpoint is compromised.

Challenges

Traditional security tools and complex network architecture make it difficult to prevent ransomware from spreading across networks. Organizations struggle with multiple tools, siloed teams, and high operational costs trying to gain visibility and control through VLANs, agents, and hardware. This fragmented approach leaves critical assets vulnerable to lateral movement attacks.

Block Lateral Movement / Ransomware FAQ

Prevent lateral movement to contain ransomware before it spreads.  See how Elisity blocks lateral movement in its tracks — without agents or hardware changes — in the FAQs below.
How can microsegmentation contain a ransomware outbreak before it spreads across the network?

By enforcing strict identity-based access policies, Elisity isolates each user, workload, and device so that even if one endpoint is compromised, the ransomware or malware can’t laterally move to unauthorized systems. This containment approach effectively stops ransomware from propagating beyond the initially infected machine.

We use many security tools but still worry about lateral movement. How does Elisity address this challenge?

Elisity replaces complex VLAN rules and multiple point solutions with a unified identity-based policy platform. It automatically discovers your assets and applies consistent microsegmentation rules across the network, closing the visibility gaps that attackers might exploit.

Is deploying Elisity’s microsegmentation solution complex or costly for ransomware defense?

No, Elisity is agentless and leverages your existing network switches, so there’s no need to install new appliances or re-engineer the network. You can achieve robust lateral movement protection quickly and with minimal operational overhead.

Can we implement Elisity without disrupting users or business operations while improving security?

Yes, Elisity’s cloud-based approach allows for fast deployment and automated microsegmentation policy enforcement that won’t interrupt users’ normal activities. You get immediate security benefits without downtime, letting IT teams focus on critical tasks instead of manual network changes.
