Illumio figure parmi les principaux fournisseurs dans le paysage de la microsegmentation de Forrester, T2 2024

En tant que stratégie basée sur le concept "ne jamais faire confiance, toujours vérifier", la confiance zéro est un moyen d'atténuer les risques et de renforcer les défenses en matière de cybersécurité. Son importance ne cesse de croître à mesure que les entreprises s'éloignent des approches traditionnelles de la sécurité des réseaux basés sur le périmètre, en raison de la prolifération du travail à distance et hybride, et de l'adoption presque exponentielle des services en nuage.  

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.

Il n'y a pas de confiance zéro sans microsegmentation.

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.

Les solutions de microsegmentation peuvent répondre à trois des défis les plus importants auxquels sont confrontés les environnements dynamiques des entreprises d'aujourd'hui. Il s'agit notamment de  

• Restricting lateral movement within networks
• Fournir un accès granulaire jusqu'au niveau de la charge de travail

• Sécuriser les charges de travail dans divers environnements.

Selon l'étude de Forrester, "les organisations prennent enfin au sérieux la question de la confiance zéro. Certains mettent en œuvre la microsegmentation de manière proactive dans le cadre d'une stratégie ou d'une initiative "zéro confiance". D'autres le mettent en œuvre parce qu'ils ont été victimes d'un ransomware et qu'ils essaient d'éviter que cela ne se reproduise. Mais toutes ces entreprises appliquent le principe de la confiance zéro grâce à la microsegmentation.

Comment Illumio s'aligne sur les cas d'utilisation de la microsegmentation

En offrant un délai de rentabilisation rapide, nous croyons que la plateforme ZTS d'Illumio est entièrement capable de répondre aux trois principaux cas d'utilisation définis par Forrester dans son étude Microsegmentation Landscape, Q2 2024.  

Les points suivants ont été identifiés par la firme de recherche comme étant ceux que les acheteurs tentent le plus souvent de résoudre lorsqu'ils évaluent les fournisseurs de microsegmentation, et nous décrivons ici comment nous croyons qu'Illumio répond à chacun d'entre eux :

• 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.

De plus, grâce à l'étendue et à la profondeur de la plateforme Illumio ZTS, nous pensons que notre solution répond à tous les cas d'utilisation étendus définis par Forrester dans l'étude :

• 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.
