Aviatrix Recognized as Leader and Fast Mover in Cloud Network Security by GigaOm Radar Report

Aviatrix Achieves Distinction in Cloud Network Security



In a notable accomplishment, Aviatrix®, a prominent player in the realm of cloud network security, has received accolades from GigaOm as a 'Leader' and 'Fast Mover' in their Radar Report for Cloud Network Security. This marks the second consecutive year that Aviatrix has achieved this recognition, reinforcing its position as a key innovator in the cloud security landscape.

Overview of the GigaOm Radar Report


The GigaOm Radar report serves as a comparative analysis of the top ten cloud networking security solutions available today. It assesses each offering against the capabilities and nonfunctional requirements described in an accompanying Key Criteria report. Aviatrix distinguished itself by securing high scores in the Emerging Features Comparison segment as well as demonstrating competency in multiple decision criteria. Key strengths highlighted include network segmentation, egress traffic security, and ingress traffic security.

GigaOm's analysis states, "Aviatrix is a prominent player in the cloud networking market... The solution supports the deployment and lifecycle management of cloud security gateways in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and Alibaba. The Aviatrix edge gateways can be deployed in Equinix data centers or on top of VMware or KVM to extend the Distributed Cloud Firewall policy to hybrid and edge locations."

Innovation in Network Security


The evolution of threats in digital spaces underscores the importance of robust network security. Andrew Green, a Research Analyst for Networking and Security at GigaOm, emphasized this by stating, "The network is the point of entry of any attacker, which means it needs to be the first line of defense. While security vendors can improve the posture of existing networking constructs, cloud networking vendors can define whole new networks and secure them at the same time."

Aviatrix has been proactive in enhancing its capabilities; they recently rolled out updates that include the Hybrid Cloud Transit and Distributed Cloud Firewall (DCF) integration, now featuring improved threat intelligence capacities. These enhancements empower enterprises to effectively secure their cloud egress and hybrid-cloud connectivity — critical components that have historically been challenging for many cloud-first organizations.

In November 2024, Aviatrix further solidified its presence in the market with the launch of its Cloud Network Security Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). This scalable managed service is aimed at assisting businesses in navigating the complexities associated with cloud networking and security without compromising performance. The company also announced cutting-edge integrations with Microsoft Security Service Edge and Microsoft Security Copilot shortly thereafter.

Fulfilling Core Requirements of Cloud Network Security


Bryan Ashley, Vice President of Product Marketing at Aviatrix, commented on the significance of GigaOm’s report, outlining five core requirements that cloud network security solutions must meet:
1. Unifying different environments
2. Gaining visibility and creating visualizations
3. Detecting misconfigurations and identifying risks
4. Continually reinforcing evolving policies
5. Inspecting patterns to detect anomalies

Aviatrix’s solutions have been designed to meet these specific criteria consistently across all major cloud service providers.

Conclusion


Being named a Leader and Fast Mover again by GigaOm highlights Aviatrix's commitment to rapid innovation and the positive impact it continues to make in the cloud security arena. With an extensive track record of success and an ongoing commitment to excellence, Aviatrix is well-positioned to drive the future of cloud networking forward, enabling businesses around the globe to remain agile and secure in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
