Elisity Microsegmentation
Elisity Microsegmentation applies identity-based policies to users, workloads, and devices to limit lateral movement across IT, IoT, OT, and IoMT networks.
What Elisity Microsegmentation is
Elisity Microsegmentation applies identity-based policies to users, workloads, and devices to limit lateral movement across IT, IoT, OT, and IoMT networks. It uses passive telemetry and integrations to discover device identity, behavior, traffic, and risk in IdentityGraph. Teams can build least-privilege policies, simulate them against real traffic before activation, and review recommendations from Elisity Intelligence before approving actions. The cloud-hosted Cloud Control Center manages Virtual Edge deployments, while Virtual Edge Nodes enforce policies through onboarded network infrastructure. Elisity describes Virtual Edge as lightweight container software for access-layer switches or virtual environments, with policies synchronized to existing infrastructure without additional hardware. The platform lists integrations with security, IT, and network tools, including Armis, CrowdStrike, ServiceNow, Cisco, and Splunk; partner data is read through APIs rather than written back. It targets healthcare, manufacturing and industrial organizations, and commercial enterprises. Pricing is on request, and subscription fees and terms are specified in a Software Order.
Good
- Discovers devices through passive telemetry and IdentityGraph.
- Policies can be simulated against real traffic.
- Supports identity-based least-privilege controls.
- Virtual Edge runs at access layers or in virtual environments.
- SOC 2 examination completed, according to Elisity.
Watch out
- Pricing is available on request.
- Access Software must be deployed to a switch or virtual machine.
- Integrations read partner data but do not write configuration back.
Who it suits
It suits organizations in healthcare, manufacturing, industrial, and commercial sectors seeking identity-based network segmentation across mixed IT, IoT, OT, and IoMT environments. Teams should be prepared to deploy Access Software to an access-layer switch or virtual machine and access the Cloud Control Center in a browser.
Verdict
Elisity brings identity discovery, policy recommendations, and traffic simulation into a microsegmentation platform for mixed network environments. Its fit depends on deployment requirements and a subscription whose pricing is provided on request.
