Illumio Inc., the breach containment company, has announced the general availability of Illumio Insights, a powerful new product within the Illumio Platform.
As the only platform that delivers a complete approach to reducing lateral movement risk, Illumio now combines AI-powered detection, real-time risk insights, and one-click containment with strategic segmentation for proactive protection.
llumio Insights Transforms Security Teams
Built on an AI security graph, Illumio Insights transforms how security teams detect, prioritise, and contain threats across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
During the private preview, early adopters uncovered a range of unexpected risks only made visible with Illumio Insights’ deep observability and behavior-based analytics.
Among the most notable findings were widespread east-west traffic from unsanctioned geographies, misconfigured services exposing risky ports, and a surprising prevalence of unsanctioned usage of public LLMs.
Building on these learnings, Illumio has introduced several additional powerful capabilities as part of the general availability release. New capabilities include:
- Country Insights gives users a clear view of traffic and threats by geography, helping them quickly spot unusual activity and apply geo-specific policies to reduce risk.
- Quarantine Dashboard enables one-click isolation of compromised systems, empowering teams to stop threats from spreading without needing advanced technical skills.
- Resource View makes it even easier to investigate resources and enables teams to act fast to limit exposure.
Cloud and Hybrid Environment Vulnerabilities
The hybrid, multi-cloud environments that Illumio’s solution addresses are increasingly under siege:
- 27% of businesses have experienced a public cloud security incident in 2024, marking a 10% increase from the previous year
- An estimated 85% of organisations will have faced at least one cloud security incident by the end of 2024
- 45% of breaches are cloud-based, and 69% of organisations admitted to experiencing data breaches or exposures due to multi-cloud security configurations
“Enterprises often struggle to maintain an accurate inventory of all devices, applications, and data flows across increasingly complex networks — especially with the rise of cloud services and hybrid environments,” said Dr. Chase Cunningham, DrZeroTrust.
“Security graphs address this challenge by automatically ingesting data from diverse sources such as asset databases, cloud APIs, and network scans to build a dynamic, real-time map of infrastructure and dependencies,”
“This living model not only enhances visibility but also strengthens security posture by revealing hidden risks and attack paths.” he said.
With these advancements, Illumio Insights delivers on its promise to help security teams detect, prioritise, and contain threats more effectively.
It also empowers teams to act on what they see with one-click containment, accelerating Zero Trust Segmentation at cloud scale.
As part of Illumio’s breach containment platform, Insights helps organisations stop the spread of attacks before they escalate into full-blown disasters.
“Illumio Insights makes a strong impression right out of the gate; it helps security teams manage complexity and emerging AI technologies to focus on what matters,” said Chris Konrad, Vice President Global Cyber, World Wide Technology.
“Our clients gain actionable insights that build trust and drive better decisions because we are able to identify risks, swiftly.” Konrad said.
According to Delisa Stone, Partner, Cyber Security, Cloud and Resilience at Deloitte Technology and Transformatio Illumio Insights offers unparalleled visibility and granular segmentation capabilities that empower organisations to strengthen their cyber resilience
“We recommend Illumio Insights to our clients seeking to enhance their security posture with a scalable, adaptive solution that aligns with evolving regulatory and operational demands,” said Stone
“The biggest gap in cybersecurity today isn’t tools, it’s visibility. And that’s exactly what Illumio Insights delivers,” says Andrew Rubin, CEO and Founder of Illumio.
“Illumio Insights changes the game. It gives security teams the visibility they’ve been missing, like what’s talking to what, where the risk is, and how to contain it fast. This isn’t about more alerts, it’s about actionable intelligence that helps organisations stay ahead of real threats.” he said.
Illumio Insights and Illumio Segmentation are integral components of the Illumio Platform, the first cybersecurity platform focused on breach containment.
The cost of failing to contain lateral movement is staggering. By 2025, cybercrime is globally estimated to cost $10.5 trillion, increasing by 15 percent annually underscoring why 25% of data breaches involve lateral movement – once attackers gain initial access, they can spend weeks or months silently expanding.
Illumio Insights detects threats fast, while Illumio Segmentation contains breaches and protects key assets. Together, they boost risk visibility, response speed, and cyber resilience.
