Segment to Secure the Cloud

Trends like IT decentralization, infrastructure as code, the distributed enterprise, and accelerated hybrid and multi-cloud adoption continue to drive breaches in the cloud.

As more organizations look to digitally transform and modernize, we know that the public cloud plays an integral role in furthering those efforts. In fact, IDC expects the cloud workload security software market to grow from $2.2 billion in 2021 to $5.1 billion in 2026. But increased hybrid and multi-cloud deployments continue to introduce visibility and security gaps across application workloads, highlighting major security risks across distributed architectures.

Illumio is committed to helping more organizations of all sizes across industries, contain threats in the cloud and across hybrid IT. Minimizing risk so that organizations can capitalize on growth and business innovation opportunities instead. Our mission is simple: to prevent breaches from spreading with Zero Trust Segmentation, an essential technology pillar of Zero Trust that prevents attacks from proliferating across and between cloud environments. In fact, Zero Trust Segmentation can stop attacks in minutes.

We believe that Zero Trust, and an ‘assume breach’ mindset, plays an integral role in securing the cloud at scale. And that in order to secure the cloud against today’s dynamic, modern adversaries, organizations need technology in place that proactively accounts for the breaches to come. No business is immune to today’s ransomware scourge. As we see time and time again, modern enterprises are bound to be breached – but that does not mean that every cyber incident must result in a catastrophic business failure. ??

This is where Zero Trust Segmentation can help. I’m excited to share that today, Illumio, the Zero Trust Segmentation company, has joined the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment. Like Illumio, CSA believes that “Creating an industry “north star” for Zero Trust has huge implications in raising the cybersecurity baseline across the board and eliminating significant systemic risk.” That’s why we’re excited to be partnering with the CSA community to help bring Zero Trust awareness, guidance and best practices to more organizations as they look to fortify their business resilience in cyberspace.

In today’s hyperconnected, hybrid world, cybersecurity must start with securing the cloud – and securing the cloud starts with Zero Trust Segmentation.
