Illumio nombrado entre los proveedores notables en el panorama de microsegmentación de Forrester, Q2 2024

Como estrategia basada en el concepto de "nunca confíes, siempre verifica", Zero Trust es un medio para mitigar el riesgo y fortalecer las defensas de ciberseguridad. Continúa aumentando en relevancia a medida que las compañías se alejan de los enfoques tradicionales de seguridad de red basada en el perímetro debido a la proliferación del trabajo remoto e híbrido, y una adopción casi exponencial de servicios en la nube.  

Forrester’s recently published Microsegmentation Solutions Landscape, Q2 2024 reinforces these assertions, stating: “You can use microsegmentation solutions to secure critical and important resources, defend against ransomware, and achieve compliance imperatives.”

Illumio was recognized by Forrester in the new Microsegmentation Solutions Landscape, Q2 2024 amongst the notable microsegmentation solutions vendors. We are confident that the Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS) Platform closely aligns with all core and extended use cases as defined in the research, providing granular protection that can enable secure operations wherever employees may be – in the office, remotely, or in the cloud.

No hay Zero Trust sin microsegmentación

Forrester sees microsegmentation, also known as Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS), as “one of the first true Zero Trust technologies” that has since evolved into an established market.  

When implementing microsegmentation platforms like Illumio’s as part of a Zero Trust strategy, organizations can achieve a unified view over workloads and communications across their hybrid environments while benefitting from a single source of truth, including sources of metadata and context. This enables teams to move from a siloed approach to Zero Trust security to a broader, more cohesive view over the entire organization’s security posture.

Las soluciones de microsegmentación pueden abordar tres de los desafíos más importantes que enfrentan los entornos empresariales dinámicos de hoy. Estos incluyen:  

• Restricting lateral movement within networks
• Proporcionar acceso granular hasta el nivel de carga de trabajo

• Protección de cargas de trabajo en diversos entornos.

Según la investigación de Forrester, "Las organizaciones finalmente se están tomando en serio la confianza cero. Algunos, de manera proactiva, están implementando la microsegmentación como parte de una estrategia o iniciativa de Zero Trust. Otros lo están implementando porque fueron golpeados por ransomware y están tratando de evitarlo nuevamente. Pero todos ellos están haciendo Zero Trust con microsegmentación".

Cómo se alinea Illumio con los casos de uso de microsegmentación

Al proporcionar un tiempo de amortización rápido, creemos que la plataforma ZTS de Illumio es totalmente capaz de cumplir con los tres casos de uso principales definidos por Forrester en su investigación Microsegmentation Landscape, Q2 2024.  

Los siguientes fueron identificados por la firma de investigación como los que los compradores intentan resolver con mayor frecuencia al evaluar a los proveedores de microsegmentación, y aquí describimos cómo creemos que Illumio aborda cada uno:

• Apply Zero Trust: The Illumio ZTS Platform maintains continuous, risk-based verification, enforces least-privileged access, and enables organizations to gain comprehensive security monitoring across the hybrid environment. maintains continuous, risk-based verification, enforces least-privileged access, and enables organizations to gain comprehensive security monitoring across the hybrid environment.

• Defend against ransomware: The Illumio ZTS Platform can contain ransomware in minutes by stopping the spread of an attack once it enters the network environment. It identifies areas of high risk and ensures long-term protection of digital assets, ultimately preserving the resiliency of the organization.  

• Provide traffic flow visibility: The Illumio ZTS Platform helps reduce risk by providing real-time visibility and context around traffic flows while limiting interactions between servers to protect high-value applications. limiting interactions between servers to protect high-value applications.

Además, gracias a la amplitud y profundidad de la plataforma Illumio ZTS, creemos que nuestra solución ofrece todos los casos de uso extendidos definidos por Forrester en la investigación:

• Secure private clouds and public cloud workloads: Illumio offers real-time visibility into hybrid, multi-cloud environments to see and secure network exposure, automates security policy at the workload regardless of the underlying environment, and applies orchestrated, consistent security across your hybrid and multi-cloud environments.  

• Secure healthcare environments: Illumio can map and segment communication amongst traditional IT data center and clouds as well as devices on IoMT and OT networks in healthcare organizations, such as admin systems, bedside carts, X-rays, etc. As a result, healthcare providers can protect critical assets and stop malicious actors from reaching critical systems and data, guarding against a major operational failure or loss of patient and financial data.

• Secure OT environments: Illumio is used by organizations in the manufacturing, transport, energy, and healthcare sectors to protect their OT environments. Being able to map all interconnections between systems highlights the potential threats of open high-risk ports that should be restricted in the OT world. Being able to restrict the movement of an attacker protects an industrial control system from the impact of ransomware. The flexibility of Illumio’s platform means that an organization can react quicker to reduce the impact of an attack.

• Isolate IoT devices: For individual, standalone IoT systems like bank ATMs, train ticket machines, oil valves, etc., Illumio provides defense-in-depth by creating a micro-perimeter that not only protects the device from external attack but also protects the wider network from a physical attack. Where systems are deployed in remote locations, an attack vector could be to physically connect to the device and then inject malware into the infrastructure – Illumio stops this from happening.
