Illumio Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS) Platform is the only solution that handles it all: Endpoint-Endpoint, Endpoint-Server, Server-Server, as well as extensive support for cloud workloads, containers, IoT, and OT devices. Empowering organizations to be more resilient for whatever may come their way. ZTS contains the spread of breaches and ransomware across the hybrid attack surface by continually visualizing how workloads and devices are communicating, creating granular policies that only allow wanted and necessary communication, and automatically isolating breaches by restricting lateral movement proactively or during an active attack.
In addition, Illumio ZTS includes the Illumio Virtual Advisor (IVA) which provides actionable, AI driven guidance for even the most complex tasks. With IVA, teams can streamline their workflows with instant, expert-level answers to their questions. Quickly access critical information and achieve complex tasks simply by asking the virtual advisor.
Illumio Breach Containment Platform provides comprehensive mapping of traffic telemetry across hybrid multi-cloud environments and endpoints for applications, data, and cloud workloads. This visualization allows security teams to uncover unnecessary connectivity that increases risk. With the Illumio Breach Containment Platform, you can easily know if you are at risk of an attack or currently under attack. Detailed context-based label descriptions of objects guides teams as they create policies, based on applications' components and relationships. With Illumio, teams can make faster, more informed decisions about what traffic to segment to proactively maintain a strong security posture or reactively isolate a breach.
Illumio Breach Containment Platform is made up of these solutions:
Illumio Insights for visibility and incident response. Quickly identify risk, detect attacks, and contain threats with a single click. Empower security teams to protect critical assets and respond instantly.
Illumio Segmentation for cloud and on-premises data center workloads. Limit an attacker's ability to travel across lateral traffic with proactive policy controls that limit the exposure of valuable assets
Highlights
See risk
Visualize all communication and traffic between workloads and devices across the entire hybrid attack surface. Gain visibility with real-time telemetry and data, understand application communications, security policy, usage, access and security exposure with a comprehensive map of traffic flows.
Set policy
Comprehensive monitoring and simplified labeling that helps eliminate blind spots by automatically setting granular and flexible segmentation policies that control communication between workloads and devices to only allow what is necessary and wanted.
Stop the spread
Proactively isolate high-value assets or reactively isolate compromised systems during an active attack to stop the spread of a breach by programming dynamic workload policies for hybrid multi-cloud networks and endpoints, and applying automated policy recommendations.

You buy this platform in two unit types that you can combine based on what you protect. The first unit covers 250 secured workloads and includes the Breach Containment Platform. The second unit covers 100 public cloud workloads. Both scale by adding more units as your workload count grows. A workload is a countable resource such as a virtual machine, database, or server operating system. Different resource types convert to workloads at different ratios, so you size your quantity from your actual environment. The two units are independent, so you select the mix that matches your infrastructure.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
How do resource types convert into billable workloads for these units?
Different resources count at different ratios. A cloud virtual machine, database, or standard server operating system each counts as one workload. A container cluster host counts as two. Legacy operating systems count as two, and five user endpoints count as one workload. You size your quantity from your actual environment.
How do the two units combine on my bill, and which one drives cost?
The two units bill independently and appear together on the same invoice. The 250 secured workloads unit covers your servers, endpoints, and data center resources plus the platform. The 100 CloudSecure Workloads unit covers public cloud resources. Your infrastructure mix decides which unit contributes more.
What is included per workload for data processing or traffic retention?
Each cloud workload includes 50MB per day of data processing. Each data center and endpoint workload includes 50MB of data traffic retention. Container cluster counting here does not include Kubernetes-specific visibility or enforcement, which requires a separate deployment. Contact the vendor to discuss that option.

The reference solution for host-based microsegmentation
Reviewed on Aug 28, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Illumio is the real-time visibility into application dependencies and traffic flows. The Illumination map lets me understand how workloads communicate before writing any policy, which reduces the risk of breaking production. The label-based model makes policies readable and scalable instead of relying on IP addresses, and it works consistently across a mixed environment including Windows, Linux, and IBM i. The progressive path from visibility to test mode to full enforcement makes the Zero Trust journey low-risk and manageable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial learning curve can be steep, especially when building the labeling strategy. Getting the label model right from the start is critical, and it takes time to define conventions that scale well across a large and heterogeneous environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Illumio solves the problem of lateral movement inside our network. In a traditional flat environment, once an attacker or a piece of malware gets in, it can spread easily between workloads. With microsegmentation, we contain that risk by allowing only the flows that are truly necessary between applications and environments. It also solved our lack of visibility: before Illumio, we didn’t have a clear picture of how workloads actually communicated, and now we can map dependencies precisely before enforcing any policy. This benefits us by reducing our attack surface, making audits and compliance easier to demonstrate, and giving us the confidence to isolate critical systems across a mixed fleet including Windows, Linux, and IBM i. Overall it strengthens our Zero Trust posture without forcing us to redesign the underlying network.
