Illumio, the zero trust segmentation company, has launched its Incident Response Partner Program, designed to help organisations to respond, contain, and recover faster during ransomware and other breaches.
The programme will bring Illumio’s zero trust segmentation technology into the practice of leading digital forensic and incident response (DFIR) providers.
Response teams can gain immediate network visibility, restore operations quicker, and prevent re-infection, says the vendor.
Providers typically use the technology alongside endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, with no disruption to the DFIR process. Additionally, Illumio is customisable for the unique requirements of each provider, and can be pre-configured based on the tools providers use during an active breach.
DFIR providers can deploy the platform as a fully managed or standalone service.
"The biggest challenge in incident response is that those leading the investigation or recovery often are not familiar with the environment,” said Ryan Ikeler, head of incident response and managed services at Illumio.
“Adding zero trust segmentation into the recovery process not only provides a level of visibility that many didn’t even know was possible, but it minimises risk and allows organisations to recover faster, reducing the spread, cost, and operational impact of attacks.”
