Cybersecurity firm Illumio has revealed that Microsoft Corporation has rolled out its AI-driven platform across its entire corporate IT environment. With the implementation of Illumio Insights and Segmentation, Microsoft is strengthening its defenses to prevent lateral movement, contain potential threats, and ensure resilience at unprecedented scale.
Igor Tsyganskiy, Global Chief Information Security Officer at Microsoft said “When we needed to bring these capabilities into Microsoft, Illumio was the only segmentation solution that would work at the scale of Microsoft and deliver in our environment. Perhaps most importantly, the Illumio team understands partnership, and how to deliver under extreme pressure.”
Operating one of the most complex and interconnected networks in the world, Microsoft faces similar challenges as other global enterprises: hybrid environments, multi-cloud architectures, and the need for real-time observability. The Illumio platform provides Microsoft with deep visibility into network connectivity and powerful capabilities to enforce segmentation policies that help reduce the risk of breaches spreading across the environment.
Andrew Rubin, CEO and founder of Illumio, calls the deployment at Microsoft a testament to the power and scalability of the AI network security graph: “With the implementation at Microsoft, we can now confidently say this is the future of cybersecurity.”
