Endpoint segmentation is as important as data center segmentation because malware can spread when endpoints communicate with each other. Illumio Edge provides strong endpoint security by delivering visibility and segmentation to the endpoint. Illumio Edge delivers endpoint protection that eliminates malicious lateral connections by effectively blocking the east-west traffic. It proactively prevents the spread of breaches even before they are detected.
