How Illumio benefits federal agencies
As we know, in today's world, it is imperative to assume breach.
Federal organizations are entrusted with the most critical information. Illumio can help you prepare for the worst and proactively protect our country's most confidential data and intelligence from a catastrophic attack.
How do you manage your workloads today? If your experience is anything like mine, you may have a team that has to swivel-chair between tools or, worse, have a spreadsheet or two out there tracking servers that need to be manually updated.
This is the reality for many of our federal counterparts. They have minimal visibility into network flows, and it is hard to know which workloads are communicating, let alone the full scope of hardware.
See risk: Visualize network communication and traffic
With Illumio, you can gain unprecedented visibility right out of the gate. Illumio paints the picture of your environment so you can see not only what you have, but what is talking to what.
And all of this is delivered in an intuitive visual map. See some communication that doesn't look right? Shut it down immediately by denying traffic right within the app and it automatically protects the workload.
Set policy: Set granular segmentation policies
Not only do you gain unprecedented visibility into workloads and their communications, but the magic is in the control of application-level traffic. This is often how our adversaries move through the network. Illumio provides critical insight to start asking the right questions, and based on this, you can implement policy to, for example, quickly block ports that are commonly used by ransomware attacks.
Stop the spread: Automatically isolate compromised systems and assets
Our solution is designed to set granular segmentation policies. This not only controls unnecessary communications but also stops the spread. It can isolate high value assets to proactively lower your risk of a catastrophic breach or reactively in the case of an active attack.
Illumio is designed to meet the needs of all teams, no matter the size of their IT staff and any complexity. Teams can gain immediate value without significant onus on a lone network engineer. If you have a large technical staff, not only can Illumio support the scale, but you can go into depth with more granular rules and protections.
Illumio's investment in FedRAMP provides all the benefits of this industry-leading technology to federal agencies with the added value of a cloud deployment.
