As a market leader in Zero Trust security solutions, Illumio provides 24/7 security monitoring, protecting every workload and application to prevent lateral movement—stopping vulnerabilities from spreading across bare metal, virtual machines, and containers in any data center or cloud environment, thereby reducing network security risks.

Illumio utilizes micro-segmentation technology, which applies network segmentation principles to divide applications and services into smaller subnets, minimizing the attack surface and enhancing network security. This approach protects organizations from cyberattacks and data breaches while improving network visibility and manageability, ensuring the security of critical assets. Illumio Core provides real-time visibility into internal network traffic, enabling enterprises to quickly detect and isolate abnormal behavior. Even if a hacker infiltrates the network, lateral movement is significantly restricted. Built on Zero Trust principles, Illumio assumes that threats already exist within the organization and enforces dynamic policy controls to ensure that only authorized applications and devices can communicate.

Unlike traditional VLAN or firewall-based segmentation, Illumio’s Software-Defined Segmentation does not require changes to network architecture, allowing for rapid deployment across multi-cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid IT infrastructures, significantly reducing operational complexity. Beyond mitigating risks from ransomware and APT attacks, Illumio enhances enterprise cybersecurity resilience, helping organizations build a more secure IT environment.
