Aviatrix Zero Trust for Workloads vs Elisity Microsegmentation

Aviatrix Zero Trust for Workloads applies runtime security policies to virtual machines, containers and serverless workloads. It governs traffic between workloads and between workloads and the internet, aiming to prevent lateral movement and data exfiltration. The product runs inline in existing cloud architectures; Aviatrix says deployment requires neither network redesign nor application disruption. Named cloud environments are AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Identity-aware policies and SmartGroups use workload metadata, tags and namespaces to set least-privilege communication rules that follow workloads as they scale or move. Distributed inspection is described as stopping exploit traffic, malware and unauthorized communication in real time. Outbound controls include selective NAT, domain filtering and geographic filtering. Aviatrix says it encrypts workload-to-workload, north-south and cloud-to-cloud traffic at line rate without hardware or agents. CoPilot Telemetry provides visibility and compliance evidence, and the product describes alignment with HIPAA 2025, PCI DSS 4.0, NIS2 and DORA. Pricing is available on request.

Elisity Microsegmentation applies identity-based least-privilege policies to users, workloads, and devices across IT, IoT, OT, and IoMT networks. Passive telemetry and integrations discover devices and correlate identity, behavior, traffic, and risk in IdentityGraph. Teams can simulate policies against real traffic before activation, while Elisity Intelligence recommends actions for customer approval. A cloud-hosted Cloud Control Center manages Virtual Edge deployments, and Virtual Edge Nodes enforce policies through existing network infrastructure. Elisity describes Virtual Edge as lightweight container software for access-layer switches or virtual environments, without additional hardware. The platform is agentless, supports mixed workloads and hybrid cloud environments, and is available through API, self-hosted, and web platforms. Integrations include Armis, Claroty, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, ServiceNow, Active Directory, Splunk, Cisco, Juniper, Aruba, and Arista. It targets healthcare, manufacturing and industrial organizations, and commercial enterprises. Pricing and subscription terms are set in a Software Order.
