Illumio

Illumio, founded in 2013, develops security technology focused on breach containment. The company's platform is designed to apply microsegmentation, a method for isolating workloads and applications within a network. This approach aims to limit the lateral movement of cyber threats, thereby reducing the potential damage from a security breach.

The company's core product, the Illumio Breach Containment Platform, operates across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It uses an AI security graph to identify threats and enforce segmentation policies intended to contain them before they spread. This focus has led to its recognition as a Leader in the Forrester Wave for Microsegmentation.

Illumio's technology falls within the broader domain of Zero Trust security architecture, which operates on the principle of never trusting any user or system by default. The platform's technical domains include microsegmentation, breach containment, and the application of an AI security graph for threat analysis and policy enforcement.
