Deloitte - Experts & Thought Leaders

Illumio, the breach containment company, announced the general availability of Illumio Insights, a powerful new product within the Illumio Platform. As the only platform that delivers a complete approach to reducing lateral movement risk, Illumio now combines AI-powered detection, real-time risk insights, and one-click containment with strategic segmentation for proactive protection. Built on an AI security graph, Illumio Insights transforms how security teams detect, prioritise, and contain threats across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Private preview During the private preview, early adopters uncovered a range of unexpected risks only made visible with Illumio Insights’ deep observability and behaviour-based analytics. Among the most notable findings were widespread east-west traffic from unsanctioned geographies, misconfigured services exposing risky ports, and a surprising prevalence of unsanctioned usage of public LLMs. Building on these learnings, Illumio has introduced several additional powerful capabilities as part of the general availability release. New capabilities include: Country Insights gives users a clear view of traffic and threats by geography, helping them quickly spot unusual activity and apply geo-specific policies to reduce risk. Quarantine Dashboard enables one-click isolation of compromised systems, empowering teams to stop threats from spreading without needing advanced technical skills. Resource View makes it even easier to investigate resources and enables teams to act fast to limit exposure. Security graphs “Enterprises often struggle to maintain an accurate inventory of all devices, applications, and data flows across increasingly complex networks — especially with the rise of cloud services and hybrid environments,” said Dr. Chase Cunningham, DrZeroTrust. “Security graphs address this challenge by automatically ingesting data from diverse sources such as asset databases, cloud APIs, and network scans to build a dynamic, real-time map of infrastructure and dependencies. This living model not only enhances visibility but also strengthens security posture by revealing hidden risks and attack paths.” Breach containment platform Insights helps organisations stop the spread of attacks before they escalate into full-blown disasters With these advancements, Illumio Insights delivers on its promise to help security teams detect, prioritise, and contain threats more effectively. It empowers teams to act on what they see with one-click containment, accelerating Zero Trust Segmentation at cloud scale. As part of Illumio’s breach containment platform, Insights helps organisations stop the spread of attacks before they escalate into full-blown disasters. Unparalleled visibility “Illumio Insights offers unparalleled visibility and granular segmentation capabilities that empower organisations to strengthen their cyber resilience,” said Delisa Stone, Partner, Cyber Security, Cloud and Resilience at Deloitte Technology and Transformation. “We recommend Illumio Insights to our clients seeking to enhance their security posture with a scalable, adaptive solution that aligns with evolving regulatory and operational demands.” “Insights is the capability which now cuts to the chase,” said Stuart McCulloch, Cyber Security Product Manager from BT Global Services UK. “It directs you to key data, allowing you to make faster decisions on actions you need to take to better protect your environment.” Illumio Platform Illumio Insights and Illumio Segmentation are integral components of the Illumio Platform “The biggest gap in cybersecurity today isn’t tools, it’s visibility. And that’s exactly what Illumio Insights delivers,” says Andrew Rubin, CEO and Founder of Illumio. “Illumio Insights changes the game. It gives security teams the visibility they’ve been missing, like what’s talking to what, where the risk is, and how to contain it fast. This isn’t about more alerts, it’s about actionable intelligence that helps organisations stay ahead of real threats." Illumio Insights and Illumio Segmentation are integral components of the Illumio Platform, the first cybersecurity platform focused on breach containment. Illumio Insights helps organisations quickly identify and detect threats, while Illumio Segmentation contains breaches, protects critical assets, and enables instant response. Together, these solutions help identify and mitigate risks, contain attacks, and enhance overall cyber resilience.

Digitalisation is high on the agenda, or well under-way, in all kinds of commercial environments. As part of this process, many businesses are discovering an additional ROI when they digitalise access management for offices, retail spaces, entertainment venues, warehouses and more. The challenges of securing these buildings are no secret. Staff and business security are a priority, including the resilience of operations and the maintenance of a company’s hard-earned reputation. Filtering access, however, should not erect barriers to accessibility. Buildings should be comfortable to use for all those who are authorised to enter them. Web management software Digital access makes this much easier to achieve, providing day-to-day benefits for each building stakeholder – employees and building managers, owners and the contractors who come and go through commercial building spaces every day. During use, when employees, contractors and visitors can come-and-go with ease, collaboration is simpler and administration for building managers is more streamlined. This functionality supports the broad contribution to business efficiency that digitalisation brings. This functionality supports the broad contribution to business efficiency that digitalisation brings There’s a device to lock almost any opening and a digital solution which can either extend existing access management capability or implement digital access from scratch without cabling or invasive installation. Mobile credentials stored on a smartphone can simplify and accelerate the process of issuing, amending and revoking access. Facility and security managers can benefit from web management software, including mobile access management, which enables remote monitoring and control from one convenient point, or even while off-site. Generating higher revenues According to digital transformation experts, digital access enhances operational agility, improves productivity, enhances security and encourages innovation. Deloitte research found evidence that businesses with greater ‘digital maturity’ generated higher revenues. “Access is an increasingly important part of a digital picture which incorporates both physical and cyber security measures,” says Joachim Mahlstedt, Director and CCO Digital Access Solutions at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA. “Digitalising access quickly provides benefits which a business can turn into a competitive advantage. It puts powerful tools in the hands of a commercial building manager, as these four real projects demonstrated.” Multiple building technologies Example 1 – Office building Managing access manually and updating multiple systems in parallel can eat up a large amount of facilities staff time. There is a more efficient alternative: management of offices is more streamlined and errors are minimised when multiple building technologies, including access, are connected. There is a more efficient alternative: management of offices is more streamlined and errors are minimised At a new corporate headquarters for Canal+ near Paris, for example, various devices from ASSA ABLOY’s suite of connected Digital Access Solutions – including battery-powered Aperio® wireless handles with integrated readers and ABLOY electromechanical security locks – integrate with a Genetec system to filter access to and through all technical areas, for 1,200 employees plus visitors and contractors. This native integration adds control without adding management complexity. Aperio is not an ‘add-on’, no extra database is required. It becomes part of one streamlined system, controlled from a single interface. Programmable key-operated digital access Example 2 – Manufacturing site Digital access is also available for high security environments and/or locations where multiple different cylinder types must be used. In Germany, RheinfelsQuellen opted for ASSA ABLOY’s eCLIQ programmable key-operated digital access. At its Duisburg HQ and other locations around North Rhine–Westphalia, their new digital locking operates reliably both indoors and outside. The system is managed via the CLIQ Web Manager (CWM); system data may be accessed at any time, and from any location, via the CWM interface. The software's flexibility makes it especially suited to large access systems or for multiple locations which are geographically dispersed. “We would choose this secure and flexible locking solution time and time again,” says Marcus Schlötels, Project Manager at RheinfelsQuellen. Software-powered digital access solution Example 3 – Small retail ASSA ABLOY’s Code Handle locks fitted on a few key doors were the answer Petty theft from stockrooms and shop floors is a persistent problem for retailers. Yet in small premises, a software-powered digital access solution may not be appropriate. In Leuven, Belgium, upscale fashion boutique Patio sought an easy, low-cost deterrent. ASSA ABLOY’s Code Handle locks fitted on a few key doors were the answer.  Door security is operated by a discreet PINpad built into a brushed-chrome handle. Two standard batteries slot inside each Code Handle to power the digital security. These typically last for 30,000 lock/unlock cycles. Code Handle comes with one Master PIN; the store manager issues up to 9 additional 4–6-digit PINs. When an employee leaves Patio, it’s simple to delete their PIN. Flexible work environment Example 4 – Flexible workspace Modern workplace design needs access control that is powerful, flexible and aesthetically in tune with building users. At Plexal, an East London flexible work environment used by up to 800 entrepreneurs, ASSA ABLOY Aperio digital access achieves all three. Plexal offices are fitted with Aperio wireless digital locks which are integrated with DoorFlow, NetNodes’ online platform for managing and auditing access. These locks provide Plexal with physical security and transmit door status to DoorFlow in real time. Because they are battery- rather than mains-powered, Aperio locks also keep maintenance costs and energy consumption low. “Digitalisation presents huge challenges and opportunities for businesses of every size and type, in access management and beyond,” adds Joachim Mahlstedt. “Our expertise in access, established over decades, enables us to work with customers to truly get their access ready for what’s ahead. With ASSA ABLOY, they digitalise with confidence.”
