Illumio Collaborates with Kyndryl to Contain Breaches, Drive Zero Trust Adoption

Illumio, Inc., the breach containment company, has announced a collaboration with Kyndryl, a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, to help organisations reduce cyber risk, strengthen resilience, and speed Zero Trust adoption. By combining Illumio Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered breach containment with Kyndryl Microsegmentation Implementation Services, the collaboration delivers a scalable solution for Zero Trust—one that helps reduce the spread of cyberattacks, minimises business disruption, and improves resilience.

Illumio Insights, a core component of the Illumio Platform, sets a new standard in cloud security. Powered by an AI security graph, Insights ingests and analyses cloud-scale network data, delivering real-time visibility into traffic and risks. With this technology, Kyndryl can support the deployment of proactive microsegmentation and provide comprehensive managed services to customers, helping to deliver smarter, faster breach containment in environments at scale.

By turning massive volumes of telemetry into clear, actionable intelligence, Illumio Insights helps customers reduce dwell time, limit blast radius, and improve compliance with confidence. Combined with Illumio Segmentation, organisations can isolate workloads and applications to contain breaches more effectively. By integrating these capabilities into its broader cyber resilience and managed services portfolio, Kyndryl helps customers implement Zero Trust architectures and accelerate segmentation strategies that improve operational resilience.
