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.

Complex Tool Sprawl
Multiple point solutions and security tools create management complexity and configuration headaches, making it difficult to implement consistent controls to prevent lateral movement and implement security policies across the network.


Rapid Time to Value
Elisity enables you to discover, classify and protect all users, workloads and devices using your existing network infrastructure - without requiring new hardware, agents, or complex architecture changes. You'll be able to block lateral movement and east-west attacks across your networks.
High Operational Costs
Deploying and maintaining traditional security measures like VLANs, agents, and hardware appliances requires significant investment in infrastructure and specialized expertise. Limited


Visibility Siloed
Security and network teams struggle to gain comprehensive visibility across all users, workloads and devices, leaving potential lateral movement attack paths undiscovered.

Stop East-West Attacks, Microsegment Your Networks
Block Lateral Movement / Ransomware FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
