Agentless Visibility & Breach Containment for Hybrid Clouds
▼ Summary
– Illumio Insights provides agentless visibility by ingesting real-time telemetry and policy data from Check Point and Fortinet firewalls.
– The solution maps application traffic, identifies high-risk pathways and policy gaps, and detects lateral movement without installing software.
– This agentless approach accelerates time to value by leveraging existing firewall infrastructure and eliminates the need to deploy agents.
– Security teams gain unified visibility across hybrid environments and can accelerate zero trust adoption and breach containment.
– Illumio Insights works alongside Illumio Segmentation to form a platform purpose-built for breach containment across hybrid environments.
Achieving comprehensive security visibility across hybrid cloud and on-premises data centers is a persistent challenge for modern enterprises. Illumio has introduced a significant enhancement to its platform designed to address this gap directly. The latest capability of Illumio Insights now ingests real-time telemetry and policy data from leading firewall providers like Check Point and Fortinet. This integration transforms existing firewall logs into dynamic, actionable traffic maps, delivering agentless visibility across the entire hybrid infrastructure without requiring any software installation.
This expansion allows Illumio Insights to extend its analytical reach into data center and endpoint environments, creating an end-to-end view of network posture. By processing native firewall data, the tool can map application traffic flows, pinpoint high-risk communication pathways, identify security policy gaps, and detect attempts at lateral movement by threats. The core advantage is achieving all this without the operational overhead of deploying and managing agents.
The agentless approach fundamentally accelerates the time to value for security teams. It leverages the existing investment in firewall infrastructure, eliminating a major deployment hurdle. This provides a faster, more adaptable method for gaining critical insights into complex hybrid traffic patterns, where understanding east-west movement is essential for security.
Consequently, organizations can realize several key benefits. They gain unified visibility that seamlessly spans both cloud and on-premises environments. This accelerates the practical adoption of zero trust principles and enables rapid breach containment without disrupting normal business operations. Ultimately, teams achieve faster security outcomes by utilizing their current infrastructure, with the flexible choice between agentless visibility for discovery and agent-based approaches for enforcement.
Industry leaders recognize the importance of this integrated strategy. Modern hybrid setups demand security controls that are open, integrated, and focused on prevention. Utilizing firewall telemetry for agentless visibility helps enterprises minimize blind spots and accelerate response times across all environments. Similarly, the rich data from firewalls can be transformed into clearer insights about application behavior, allowing teams to identify risks more swiftly and advance Zero Trust initiatives across their networks.
The complexity of hybrid IT is not a passing phase; it is the operational reality. For years, data centers often represented visibility gaps, with the typical solution being to deploy additional agents. While agents continue to play a critical role for segmentation and policy enforcement, obtaining visibility should not be delayed by deployment cycles. This collaboration is changing that dynamic, delivering essential visibility and containment capabilities across every environment without the traditional friction.
Illumio Insights operates in concert with Illumio Segmentation, which enforces microsegmentation and containment policies to halt the spread of ransomware and breaches. Together, they form the Illumio Platform, a cybersecurity solution specifically engineered for breach containment across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
