Illumio

Ransomware and breach containment

Illumio works on breach containment: not preventing every intrusion, but stopping one from spreading once it happens. Its platform, powered by the Illumio AI Security Graph, identifies and contains threats across hybrid multi-cloud environments before an incident becomes a disaster. The premise is that perimeter defence eventually fails, so the meaningful variable is how far an attacker can move afterwards. The company has been recognised as a leader in the Forrester Wave for microsegmentation, the technique that underpins this approach.
