What is one advantage of using Illumio in a hybrid environment?

Using Illumio in a hybrid environment offers the significant advantage of simplifying policy management across various deployment types. In a hybrid setup, organizations often have a mix of on-premises infrastructure and cloud resources. Illumio facilitates consistent and coherent security policies that can be applied across these diverse environments, enabling organizations to manage their security posture efficiently and effectively.

This centralized approach alleviates the complexities involved in managing different security policies for on-premises and cloud resources separately. It helps maintain compliance and reduces the risk of misconfigurations, which can occur if policies were managed in silos. By using Illumio, organizations can ensure that security policies are uniformly enforced, which is crucial for maintaining a strong security posture in a hybrid cloud environment.

The other options do not align with the capabilities of Illumio in a hybrid setting. Keeping all data stored on-premises or eliminating the need for cloud services does not reflect the nature of hybrid environments, which leverage both on-premises and cloud resources. Limiting network access only to local devices contradicts the flexibility that hybrid architectures provide, as they often require secure access to both local and cloud-based resources.
