Cloud Native Security Fabric Containing Threats at Every Cloud Workload

Aviatrix Systems builds cloud network security infrastructure for enterprises running distributed workloads across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, the company started in multicloud networking and has since repositioned around what it calls the Containment Era, the argument that prevention and detection alone cannot stop damage once an attacker is already inside. Its buyers are cloud platform and security teams, and it reports more than 500 enterprise customers.

The Cloud Native Security Fabric distributes policy enforcement points to the workloads themselves rather than routing east-west traffic through centralized firewall appliances. A single control plane compiles policy and propagates it in subseconds across clouds, regions and Kubernetes clusters, while in-line data-plane enforcement brokers least-privilege connections at Kubernetes pods, serverless functions and VPC boundaries. SmartGroups define policy from tags, roles and attributes, so segmentation follows ephemeral workloads automatically, operating below the application layer without host agents or code changes.

The stated differentiator is detection independence: allowlist enforcement blocks unauthorized destinations whether or not a signature fires, framed as shrinking blast radius rather than shortening response time. That model now extends to AI through AgentGuard, which discovers shadow AI workloads, MCP servers and LLM endpoints from VPC flow logs, DNS logs and asset inventory, then enforces egress policy at the VPC boundary. Validated containment architectures cover AWS Bedrock AgentCore, Azure AI Foundry and Gemini Enterprise, with integrations alongside Wiz, CrowdStrike and incumbent perimeter firewalls.
