Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation helps organizations stop breaches across hybrid IT, from cloud to data center

The Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation platform helps organizations of all sizes across all industries, including telecommunications, reduce the risk of ransomware and stop breaches from spreading across hybrid IT, from the cloud to the data center.

“Cybercriminals have been aggressively targeting telecommunications providers for decades, but it’s more dangerous than ever right now. Attacks are happening more often, they are more advanced, and they are exploiting the most complex, hybrid IT environment ever imagined,” said Andrew Rubin, CEO, and co-founder of Illumio.

Zero trust segmentation

“Breaches are inevitable, and modern organizations must assume breach and implement Zero Trust Segmentation to isolate machines across the hybrid attack surface to stop breaches from spreading.”

“We believe being recognized as a 2022 Gartner Cool Vendor reinforces Zero Trust Segmentation as a modern approach needed in the era of ‘hybrid everything’ to prevent breaches from spreading into cyber disasters,” concludes Rubin.
