Can Illumio policies be applied dynamically?

Illumio policies are designed to be dynamic, meaning they can adapt in response to changes in the environment, such as modifications in workloads or network conditions. This flexibility is a key feature of Illumio's micro-segmentation approach, allowing policies to be applied in real-time based on the actual state and behavior of workloads.

When workloads change—whether due to scaling, migration, or workload type—Illumio can automatically adjust its policies to ensure that security requirements are continually met without manual intervention. This adaptability enhances security postures by ensuring that policies are always relevant and responsive to the current workload configurations and interactions within the network.

Other options do not accurately represent the capabilities of Illumio. Static policies would fail to provide the necessary flexibility needed in dynamic IT environments, while limiting policies to specific workloads or restricting them to daily applications would not leverage the full potential of the platform's real-time adaptability.
