Illumio Core provides Zero Trust Segmentation to protect against ransomware and breaches by delivering intelligent visibility, automated segmentation, and enforcement across clouds, data centers, and endpoints. It uses a Policy Compute Engine (PCE) as its management console and segmentation controller, collecting telemetry from Virtual Enforcement Nodes (VENs) installed on hosts to provide real-time traffic mapping and recommend optimal allow-list rules. The solution offers traffic visibility, rapid response, intelligent policy creation, vulnerability mapping, and SecureConnect for host-to-host traffic encryption, supporting both agent-based and agent-less environments to segment workloads, contain breaches, and simplify Zero Trust initiatives.
