Illumio Insights, is a new product designed to enhance breach containment strategies across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This platform aims to reduce the risk of lateral movement through features that integrate AI-powered detection, real-time risk insights, and strategic segmentation.
During a private preview, early adopters of Illumio Insights identified various risks that were previously invisible. These included unexpected east-west traffic from unsanctioned locations, misconfigured services exposing vulnerable ports, and unapproved usage of public Large Language Models (LLMs). Such insights underscore the need for deeper visibility in complex network environments.
New capabilities
- The Country Insights feature provides a geographical analysis of traffic and threats, allowing organisations to quickly identify unusual activities and apply specific policies to mitigate risks.
- The Quarantine Dashboard enables rapid isolation of compromised systems, allowing teams to contain threats without requiring advanced technical skills.
- Additionally, the Resource View simplifies the investigation of resources, enabling swift action to limit exposure.
Dr. Chase Cunningham, a cybersecurity expert, noted that enterprises often struggle to maintain an accurate inventory of devices and applications across complex networks.
He highlighted that security graphs can address this challenge by compiling data from various sources to create a dynamic map of infrastructure, enhancing visibility and revealing potential attack paths.
Illumio Insights aims to empower security teams to detect, prioritise, and contain threats more effectively. With its one-click containment feature, organisations can accelerate their Zero Trust Segmentation efforts, thereby preventing attacks from escalating into significant breaches.
Andrew Rubin, CEO of Illumio, emphasised that the core issue in cybersecurity is often a lack of visibility. By providing actionable intelligence, Illumio Insights aims to help organisations stay ahead of threats, effectively managing risks and enhancing overall security posture.
