What is Illumio's approach to vulnerability management?

Illumio's approach to vulnerability management is distinguished by its integration of vulnerability assessments into the policy structure. This method allows organizations to utilize real-time visibility into their environments and align security policies with specific vulnerabilities that are identified. By integrating these assessments, Illumio enables a more proactive and dynamic response to vulnerabilities, ensuring that security measures are not only reactive but also adaptive to the constantly evolving threat landscape.

This approach allows businesses to prioritize their remediation efforts effectively, focusing on the most critical vulnerabilities that could potentially impact their systems. By embedding vulnerability considerations directly into policy management, organizations can create policies that are informed by actual risk rather than relying on static or generic rules. This leads to a more robust security posture, as policies can be adjusted as new vulnerabilities are discovered and old ones are mitigated.

The integration also implies ongoing visibility rather than a one-time assessment or focus on generic rules, which may not cater to the specific needs of the organization. Therefore, by prioritizing a policy structure that actively incorporates vulnerability assessments, Illumio helps organizations maintain an agile and responsive security framework.
