Illumio
The Breach Containment Company.
Overview
Illumio is a pioneer in micro-segmentation, a security technique that logically divides the data center and cloud into distinct security segments down to the individual workload level. This prevents the lateral movement of threats by enforcing granular security policies that control traffic between workloads. Illumio's platform provides visibility into all traffic, automates policy creation, and enforces segmentation across any environment.
