Meet Illumio at Microsoft Ignite 2025

Microsoft Ignite 2025 is where AI, cloud, and security innovation converge — and Illumio is right in the middle of it.

Join us at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, Booth 4222-R in The Hub, to see how Illumio and Microsoft are reshaping how the world detects, contains, and recovers from cyberattacks.

This year, we’re bringing live demos, hands-on integrations, and expert sessions that show how Illumio helps Microsoft and global enterprises stop lateral movement and contain breaches in seconds.

Here’s everything you need to know about Illumio at Microsoft Ignite 2025.

Visit Illumio at Booth 4222-R in The Hub to experience how we’re transforming breach containment live.

You’ll see first-hand how Illumio Insights, our AI-powered cloud detection and response (CDR) solution, delivers complete observability into communication patterns across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.  

Within minutes, you’ll watch it uncover lateral movement risks, suggest fixes, and contain threats instantly.

Here’s why you should make Illumio a must-visit stop:

• See the future of detection and containment in the cloud: see live demos of Illumio Insights and the Illumio for Microsoft Sentinel integration ‍
• Learn from experts: attend sessions and talk one-on-one with Illumio leaders and experts ‍
• Get hands-on: try Illumio yourself, ask technical questions, and explore use cases tailored to your environment ‍
• Network and connect: join the MISA Showcase and Secure the Night Party to meet peers driving real change in security

Speaking session: 5 Minutes to ‘Wow!’ for Threat Detection and Containment

In this high-energy session in Theater C of The Hub, Illumio CPO Mario Espinoza will show how AI-powered cloud detection and containment can deliver results in under five minutes.

He’ll walk through how Illumio Insights integrates directly with Microsoft Sentinel and Security Copilot to visualize complex attack paths, detect lateral movement, and isolate threats instantly — all within your existing Microsoft environment.

You’ll see what we call the “five-minute wow” moment: when every alert, every flow, every workload finally makes sense in just a few minutes.

This session is built for anyone tired of chasing alerts and ready to move toward automated, explainable, and actionable breach containment.

Add the session to your schedule.

Speaking session: Azure Infrastructure for Cloud Native Solutions

In this technical deep-dive session in the Marriott Marquis, Yerba Buena Ballroom, BO1, Mario Espinoza will explore how Microsoft Azure’s infrastructure empowers cloud-native architectures to deliver faster, more resilient applications at scale.

He’ll break down how Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) handle stateless workloads, how Azure Storage and Container Networking balance performance and cost, and how Kubernetes and other open-source platforms thrive on Azure with enterprise-grade reliability.

This session is designed for anyone building or securing next-generation cloud apps who wants to get more from their Azure investment.

Join us at the MISA Showcase and Secure the Night Party

Illumio is a proud sponsor of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA).

You can meet our team at the Microsoft Showcase Booth 2340 on Tuesday, November 18, 1:00 PM–3:00 PM to learn how Illumio and Microsoft are redefining breach containment at scale.

And when the lights go down, join us at the Secure the Night Party, hosted by MISA and sponsored by Illumio. Stop by, grab a signature Illumio cocktail, and connect with our team in a more relaxed setting.

Illumio for Microsoft Sentinel: everything you need to know

Don’t miss our newest integration with Microsoft, Illumio for Microsoft Sentinel.

This integration bridges Illumio’s real-time segmentation data with Microsoft’s cloud-scale security information and event management (SIEM) and AI stack. Now, security teams can detect, investigate, and contain threats all from a single pane of glass.

With Illumio for Microsoft Sentinel, you can:

• Unify your visibility across Microsoft Defender, Entra ID, and Azure Firewall data. ‍
• Detect lateral movement early by correlating Illumio Insights telemetry within Sentinel.
• ‍Contain breaches in one click, straight from Security Copilot’s natural-language interface.

See a live demo of the integration, featuring Andrew Rubin, Illumio CEO and founder, showcasing how this partnership accelerates detection and response across Microsoft’s entire security ecosystem.

How Microsoft uses Illumio to protect millions of workloads

When one of the world’s largest technology companies looked for a breach containment solution that could secure its massive, dynamic infrastructure, Microsoft chose Illumio.

Microsoft’s global environment spans millions of workloads across hybrid, on-premises, and cloud systems. They needed a solution that could deliver scalable, dynamic segmentation without slowing innovation.

According to Igor Tsyganskiy, global chief information security officer at Microsoft, “Illumio was the only segmentation solution that would work at the scale of Microsoft and deliver in our environment. Most importantly, the Illumio team understands partnership — and how to deliver under pressure.”

Illumio now helps segment and secure Microsoft’s own internal workloads, protecting its massive digital ecosystem from the spread of ransomware and other lateral movement attacks.

That same scalability and performance are now available to every organization through the Illumio for Microsoft Sentinel integration and the broader Illumio and Microsoft ecosystem. Whether you manage hundreds or millions of assets, Illumio gives you the same kind of visibility and containment Microsoft relies on to keep its business secure.

At Ignite, you’ll see exactly how this partnership works and how it’s redefining what enterprise-grade cyber resilience looks like.

Why attend Microsoft Ignite 2025?

Microsoft Ignite 2025 is the ultimate learning ground for security leaders, IT pros, and engineers ready to harness the power of AI and cloud to modernize their defenses.

Security teams today face a paradox: more tools yet more blind spots. That’s why Illumio’s presence at Ignite focuses on cutting through complexity and showing how organizations can achieve visibility, context, and control faster than ever.

At Ignite, you’ll find us leading conversations about:

• AI-driven detection and response that empowers teams to act, not just analyze ‍
• Breach containment that helps you see, understand, and stop attacks before they spread ‍
• Microsoft integrations that bring breach containment directly into the workflows your SOC already uses

See you in San Francisco at Microsoft Ignite!

Microsoft Ignite 2025 runs November 18–21 at the Moscone Convention Center. Illumio will be there all week with our experts, demos, and new integrations that show why breach containment is the strategy for resilience.
