As cyber-attacks become increasingly more sophisticated and targeted, leading cybersecurity specialist, Core to Cloud has partnered with Illumio to add Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS) to its suite of cybersecurity solutions, and help organisations prevent breaches from spreading across hybrid attack surfaces.

ZTS is a modern security approach that contains and minimises the impact of breaches and ransomware.

“Breaches are getting more frequent and more severe and while traditional security approaches are still important, they are not enough”
Illumio ZTS enables organisations to reduce risk and build resilience to today’s threats, with tests from Bishop Fox showing ZTS stops attacks from spreading in 10 minutes, nearly 4 times faster than detection and response capabilities alone. Research from the Enterprise Strategy Group reveals that those that have adopted Zero Trust Segmentation as part of their Zero Trust strategy save an average of $20.1 million in application downtime and avert five cyber disasters a year.
“Breaches are getting more frequent and more severe and while traditional security approaches are still important, they are not enough,” adds Scott Walker, Senior Director of Channel & Alliances, EMEA at Illumio. “Our channel strategy has always been to develop a lean and focused route to market, working with the right strategic partners. Core to Cloud is a cybersecurity specialist that strives to help organisations solve problems in different ways, so there is a natural synergy in terms of culture, goals, and experience.”
