Empowering SLED Organizations with Illumio’s Zero Trust Segmentation

State, Local and Education organizations (SLED) encounter various challenges in maintaining effective cybersecurity compliance due to evolving cyber threats. Given the likelihood of breaches, it is essential for these organizations to adopt proactive measures to mitigate their impact, allowing for the swift isolation of affected endpoints and resources. Illumio enhances visibility across agency infrastructures, enabling a clearer understanding of network dynamics. This visibility is important for establishing effective least-privilege access policies, especially in complex hybrid environments that include on-premise data centers, cloud services and operational technology (OT) systems.

Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS) serves as a practical strategy for enhancing cybersecurity within SLED organizations. By segmenting workloads, ZTS restricts lateral access between hosts, which helps contain potential breaches. This method aligns with the principles of Zero Trust architecture and addresses the need for flexible security measures in light of changing regulatory requirements. Illumio’s platform simplifies the management of diverse security tools, improving operational efficiency while safeguarding sensitive assets.
