Why re-invent segmentation?

Segmentation is the best way to prevent the spread of breaches inside data centers and cloud environments. Traditional network segmentation, well understood by security and infrastructure teams, was designed to subdivide the network into smaller network segments through VLANs, subnets and zones. Although these constructs can provide some isolation, their primary function is to boost network performance and requires control of the infrastructure, which is often a challenge in the public cloud. In contrast, Illumio's adaptive micro-segmentation technology enforces security policies – what should and should not be allowed to communicate among various points on the network – by filtering traffic. If networking supports how things can communicate, security dictates if they should. 

What does adaptive micro-segmentation give you? Segmentation your way.

Illumio's adaptive micro-segmentation technology lets you choose the level of segmentation that is right for your environment. We offer the widest range of segmentation options available without all the manual work normally associated with traditional segmentation.
