How does Illumio handle orchestration of policies across environments?

Illumio handles the orchestration of policies across different environments primarily by ensuring consistent enforcement across platforms. This approach allows organizations to maintain stringent security policies regardless of the underlying infrastructure, whether it be on-premises data centers, public clouds, or hybrid environments. The capability to enforce the same set of policies consistently helps organizations reduce vulnerabilities and streamline security compliance efforts.

By focusing on uniform enforcement, Illumio ensures that policies are applied consistently to workloads wherever they reside, which is crucial for maintaining a strong security posture. This consistent application helps in preventing policy drift and enhances visibility into security controls across diverse environments.

In contrast, restricting network access, local hardware installations, and replacing existing software do not inherently provide a method for orchestrating policies. While these actions might serve specific security functions, they do not address the need for a cohesive and consistent approach to policy enforcement across various environments.
