In any cloud, container and data center environment, Illumio Core accelerates the time to achieve Zero Trust Segmentation with real-time application visibility and insights, and reduces the time to enforcement by automating policy generation.
Additionally, Illumio Edge, Illumio’s endpoint segmentation solution, drastically reduces the risk of ransomware and malware propagating laterally throughout an organization by containing attacks by default. This solution blocks all unnecessary inbound network communications to significantly reduce the risk of malware spreading peer to peer without the fear of false positives.
“The rise of ransomware and catastrophic breaches has confirmed that current cybersecurity approaches are failing, and organizations need to implement a Zero Trust architecture,” said Mark Noctor, Regional Vice President of Sales, EMEA. “Segmentation is part of any successful Zero Trust strategy, and together with CyberKnight we will help more companies access Zero Trust solutions more quickly. We’ve always been a channel-first organization, and we’re pleased to announce this expansion within EMEA today.”
“Today it is essential to isolate any cyber breach that threatens your organization’s information, infrastructure, or networks. Undoubtedly, segmentation is one of the foundational building blocks of an effective Zero Trust framework. We are excited to be part of Illumio’s partner ecosystem which allows us to provide customers with the industry’s leading Zero Trust Segmentation platform to secure their endpoints, data centers and cloud environments”, commented Wael Jaber, VP Technology & Services at CyberKnight.
