Statista estimates that in 2025, around 16.52 million accounts were breached in India, the highest across the Asia-Pacific region. The next closest is Indonesia with 1.69 million that year.
The Asia‑Pacific region has acceleratement pressures: expansive cloud adoption, dense financial ecosystems, and complex supply chains demand swift detection and containment of lateral movement.
In a climate of increasing cyber volatility, Illumio has rolled out what it claims as the industry’s first platform enabling agentless visibility and breach containment across hybrid data centre and cloud environments.
Illumio Insights ingests real‑time telemetry from Check Point and Fortinet firewalls, producing live traffic maps that promise end‑to‑end visibility without any agents. For CISOs in Asia, the development could reshape how enterprises supervise multi‑cloud and on‑prem networks, where rapid containment remains a critical capability.
Illumio contends that by leveraging native firewall telemetry, breach containment becomes faster and less disruptive—an attractive proposition for organisations juggling business continuity with security impermeability.
The platform sits alongside Illumio Segmentation, forming a broader “breach containment platform” designed to stop ransomware and breaches by tight policy enforcement across environments.
Market observers in Asia note a competitive field. While Illumio positions itself as the industry’s first platform purpose‑built for breach containment across hybrid environments, other vendors emphasise related capabilities in hybrid visibility and containment.
Check Point has highlighted hybrid security models and telemetry integration, while Fortinet’s FortiSASE and FortiOS telemetry offer cloud‑to‑on‑prem visibility and policy enforcement.
Analysts also point to Cortex XSIAM and similar tools from other vendors as contributing to breach containment workflows, though not always under the same claim of a single platform purpose‑built for containment.
Readers are advised to compare claims directly and assess total cost of ownership, interoperability, and real‑world containment demonstrations.
In Asia, CISOs will be watching how quickly such platforms demonstrate measurable reductions in dwell time, containment latency, and blast radius during live incidents. If adoption accelerates, this approach could become a de facto standard for governing hybrid environments in 2026 and beyond.
