EMA Top 3 Buyer’s Guide to Microsegmentation

Attackers love a flat network. Every month your microsegmentation search drags on is another month they get to enjoy it. See how Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) sized up the market and why Illumio made the Top 3.

With more than 40 vendors in the microsegmentation space, the differences that matter most often stay hidden until you’re deep into a proof of concept. How much of your environment can a solution see? Where does it enforce policy? How much manual work does it take at scale?

The EMA™ Top 3 Buyer’s Guide – Microsegmentation evaluates 39 vendors across 12 critical capabilities. Use it to compare your options and get moving.

What you’ll learn

Why EMA recognized Illumio

EMA also put Illumio in the Top 3 for four of its 12 capabilities: policy-based network segmentation, automated policy discovery and provisioning, visibility and traffic flow mapping, and security ecosystem integration. The report calls Illumio “the purpose-built leader” for automated policy lifecycle management.

Illumio contains attackers before they can spread. It enforces policy on each host and maps how your apps connect in real time. It also works with the security tools you already use and suggests the right rules to stop lateral movement across hybrid environments.
