CyberKnight in partnership with Illumio to stop cyberattacks with Zero Trust Segmentation

CyberKnight in partnership with Illumio to stop cyberattacks with Zero Trust Segmentation. Segmentation is a key component of a Zero Trust cybersecurity strategy, which considers that breaches will occur and depends on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” “Modern host-based micro-segmentation tools provide central management, distributed enforcement, tamper-proofing, and high security,” according to ESG. Organizations may prevent ransomware and other threats infiltrating IT from spreading and becoming cyber disasters by deploying segmentation solutions.

CyberKnight has formed a distribution partnership with Illumio to assist enterprise and government customers in stopping the lateral migration of cyberattacks. In Forrester Research’s The Forrester WaveTM: Zero Trust eXtended (ZTX) Ecosystem Platform Providers, 2020 research, Illumio is named a Leader in Zero Trust platforms. Deloitte Fast 500 and Forbes Cloud 100 have also acknowledged the company.

Illumio thwarts ransomware attacks by containing them at the point of entry, lowering risk, and ensuring the safety of data, companies, and individuals.

Illumio Core accelerates the time to Zero Trust Segmentation in any cloud, container, or data centre environment by providing real-time application visibility and analytics and reducing the time to enforcement by automating policy development. This approach disables all unneeded inbound network communications, reducing the chance of malware spreading peer-to-peer and eliminating false positives. Illumio Edge, Illumio’s endpoint segmentation technology, also decreases the danger of ransomware and malware extending laterally within an organisation by default containing attacks.

“The rise of ransomware and catastrophic breaches has confirmed that current cybersecurity approaches are failing, and organizations need to implement a Zero Trust architecture,” said Mark Noctor, Regional Vice President of Sales, EMEA.

 “Segmentation is part of any successful Zero Trust strategy, and together with CyberKnight, we will help more companies access Zero Trust solutions more quickly. We’ve always been a channel-first organization, and we’re pleased to announce this expansion within EMEA,” added Mark Noctor.

“Today it is essential to isolate any cyber breach that threatens your organization’s information, infrastructure, or networks. Undoubtedly, segmentation is one of the foundational building blocks of an effective Zero Trust framework. We are excited to be a part of Illumio’s partner ecosystem, which allows us to provide customers with the industry’s leading Zero Trust Segmentation platform to secure their endpoints, data centers, and cloud environments”, commented Wael Jaber, VP Technology & Services at CyberKnight.
