Illumio adaptive micro-segmentation technology is quickly becoming a foundational part of the security stack and an essential tool to protect applications running in data center and cloud environments. As we see customers roll out the Illumio Adaptive Security Platform (ASP) to protect more parts of their application environments, we also see them extend Illumio to more teams across their organization — like the Security Operations Center (SOC) teams who rely on tools like security information and event management (SIEM) to monitor environments for alerts and anomalies.

Illumio's integration with Splunk gives SOC teams the ability to quickly identify potentially compromised workloads and enables Illumio administrators to be able to monitor the health of the Illumio solution.

One of the largest public universities in the U.S. wanted to take advantage of their available free subscription to a large public cloud as part of their licensing agreement. They were looking to migrate their student web services to the public cloud and achieve high availability. This was their first foray into the public cloud, introducing a new set of challenges, spanning from operational maintenance to security of their hybrid infrastructure. 

A major electronics company in the unified communications space were investing in developing their customer-facing SaaS application using a public cloud environment.

A major hedge fund in the US with over $10B under management wanted to segment their high-value client databases and trading systems—without re-architecting their applications or infrastructure. The enhanced focus on cybersecurity was driven from leadership’s increased concerns around critical information assets and compliance requirements.

Last week, Illumio participated in the semi-annual Open Networking User Group (ONUG) Conference in New York City – another great ONUG event with no shortage of like-minded people and interesting conversations about networking, security and everything in between.
