industry unlocked
Using the real-time map to involve application owners in the segmentation process improves policy accuracy and ultimately increases Cathay ’ s security posture .
“ We had discovery tools that provided some visibility and insights , but ultimately did not integrate visualisation and policy workflow .
“ In order to achieve our goals by the year-end deadline , we needed an interface that showed us application and workflow traffic and enabled us to act quickly and efficiently to block or allow flows .”
Illumio solution
Chan and team turned to Illumio Core and quickly realised it was ‘ the easiest way to do micro-segmentation ’.
For one , the real-time application dependency map lets the company see all connections between servers and what their applications are talking to . With that capability , it understands what needs to be protected and can take immediate action on flows to block them or authorise . And with 600 applications at stake , the team exceeded expectations .
The ability to run policies in test mode before going into enforcement played an essential role in the success of its deployment . This empowered ongoing collaboration between infrastructure and security teams and application owners .
The results ? A reliable , thorough process for enforcement that helped it beat its most pressing deadline . www . intelligentciso . com
