Achieve compliance and reduce risk

Users deploy environmental segmentation to comply with regulations such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and global privacy regimes like the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Illumio Core enables users to:

• Validate the scope of covered systems that map to compliance controls.
• Create rules to detect anomalous behavior and unauthorized and failed connections.
• Enable queries and reports for compliance audits and security investigations.

Improve vulnerability and patch management

Illumio Core overlays third-party vulnerability scan data with application dependency maps to identify an attacker’s potential pathways. This enables users to:

• Prioritize patching strategy.
• Use segmentation as a compensating control.
• Avoid breaking applications by applying the right level of enforcement.

Deploy Zero Trust security

Enable security segmentation to protect critical systems such as CRM, product design, Active Directory, and cardholder data environments from attacks that move laterally. Users operationalize Zero Trust security by:

• Gaining real visibility into the environment and understanding of the potential attack surface.
• Creating security segmentation policies that follow the workload.
• Continuously detecting for change, unauthorized connection attempts, and policy deviations
• Encrypting data in motion by policy.
