What is the purpose of Illumio's segmentation map?

The purpose of Illumio's segmentation map is to visually represent the segmentation of workloads. It helps organizations identify how workloads are grouped and connected within their infrastructure. This visual representation aids in understanding which assets are communicating, ensuring that security policies can be effectively applied based on logical segments rather than relying solely on traditional network segmentation. By using the segmentation map, administrators can better manage visibility and control over workloads, which is essential for implementing security measures that align with organizational compliance requirements and risk management strategies. This functionality is critical for achieving effective micro-segmentation and reducing the attack surface within a network.
