Illumio

Illumio provides host-based microsegmentation that maps application traffic, then enforces allowlist rules with workload agents to limit lateral movement. It is best for enterprises that need Zero Trust segmentation across data centers, VMs, containers, and hybrid cloud without moving to network appliance-based controls.

• Enterprise security teams with complex hybrid cloud or multi-data center architectures looking to prevent lateral movement and enforce Zero Trust segmentation without modifying underlying network hardware.
• Containing ransomware lateral movement
• Meeting regulatory compliance mandates (e.g., PCI-DSS, HIPAA)
• Securing critical assets during cloud migrations
• Implementing software-defined perimeters in data centers
