Explorer

Simplify collaboration among IT operations, security and application owners

When IT teams plan a segmentation project such as separating Test, Dev, and Prod or ringfencing their organization’s SWIFT or PCI cardholder data environments, they want to be able to validate that these environments are effectively separated from one another.

• Explorer augments the information from Illumio Core's application dependency map by enabling authorized users to query the traffic database for any traffic flows across segmented environments.
• IT operations, security, and application owners can use search results to refine the traffic flows that should be allowed or blocked within and across segmented environments.

Support compliance, audits, investigations, and troubleshooting

• Compliance teams query Explorer to validate that the scope and controls for segmentation comply with the control statements.
• Audit teams use the results of Explorer to validate the efficacy of the segmentation controls and identify issues and control gaps.
• IT operations and security teams query Explorer for planning, troubleshooting, incident response, and forensic investigations of year-old traffic.

Get comprehensive live visibility into workloads

Using Explorer, security teams can run a search on unmanaged IP addresses and convert them into unmanaged workloads. You can then use this information to define and enable policies on the connections and flows between unmanaged and managed workloads.
