About Upgrading to the Illumio Console

Illumio Insights offers a comprehensive overview of cloud traffic across your environment.

Illumio Segmentation secures your critical assets, workloads, resources, and devices.

The console provides visibility into cloud, server, endpoint, and container traffic, allowing you to protect your hybrid assets all within a single interface. This interface provides convenient access to segmentation policies, workloads, resources, and multi-cloud visibility, enabling breach containment and minimizing risks in hybrid environments. The Illumio Console also includes the Illumio Virtual Advisor (IVA), an AI-powered assistant that you can use to ask questions, investigate risks, and accelerate security workflows.
