As a market leader in Zero Trust security, Illumio delivers continuous protection to secure every workload and application — preventing lateral movement and stopping breaches from spreading across bare metal, virtual machines, containers, data centers, and cloud environments. Powered by microsegmentation, Illumio divides applications and services into smaller, controlled segments to increase visibility and manageability, protect critical assets, and isolate suspicious behavior in real time to stop attackers from moving laterally.

Illumio Insights is built for cloud-scale environments, enabling security teams to rapidly detect and contain risk. With AI-assisted analytics, it provides comprehensive visibility into network traffic without requiring hardware appliances or agents, transforming raw telemetry into actionable intelligence. Security teams can proactively identify and close high-risk attack paths, effectively shrinking the attack surface. Illumio Container extends microsegmentation to containerized workloads, dynamically enforcing policies based on traffic behavior and risk context. A default-deny model ensures only necessary communications are allowed, preventing lateral movement within container environments.

Illumio Container isolates workloads at the process level to protect containerized environments. Whether deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or across hybrid infrastructures, it delivers real-time visibility into workload communications. Automated, adaptive policies respond to observed traffic patterns and risk signals, continuously evolving alongside workloads to address gaps left by traditional firewalls — while maintaining a default-deny posture that permits only essential connectivity.

Unlike traditional VLAN or firewall-based segmentation, Illumio’s software-defined segmentation operates independently of network architecture, enabling rapid deployment across multi-cloud, data center, and hybrid IT environments. This reduces operational complexity while strengthening cyber resilience against ransomware and advanced persistent threats (APTs).
