BROOKS PARTNERS WITH ILLUMINO TO IMPROVE RESILIENCE AGAINST CYBER ATTACKS

Cybersecurity company, Illumino Inc., is being selected by footwear manufacturer, Brooks, to assist in dealing with probable cybersecurity threats and breaches.

Brooks says that serving its public with superior quality in footwear would mean well-protected IT resources and data collected from its customers – “not just for its own operations, but for preserving the integrity of its customer data as well.” They intend to enlist the use of Illumino’s cyber protection platform.

Illumino Core, a product from Illumino, uses its Zero Trust make up to protect external cyberattacks on data centers and cloud storage units. The Zero Trust Segmentation bases its traffic entry on the allowlist model, where network users validate their entry into the network of organizations instead of assuming they are not a threat and giving them free access.

“Illumio is a strategic technology in our work to protect the business against ransomware, which is a top priority not only for my team, but the company overall. Ransomware attacks can have a major impact on retail brands – they can limit our availability, halt operations, and damage our trust with customers.” said Senior Security Engineer at Brooks, Ryan Fried.

“Illumio provided value to Brooks right out of the box, with a visualization of our risk across the network. With Zero Trust Segmentation, we’re able to automate and create segmentation policies which control unwanted communications and proactively contain a potential breach to limit its impact on the organization,” he added.

With this partnership and the increase of organizational breaches, Brooks can secure important data and monitor every online communicative process within their network to set borders for ones that are not needed. They can also test the ZTS function before making them live in their network.

“At a time when cyberattacks are a constant and daily occurrence, organizations are looking for simple, reliable, and modern approaches to reduce risk. Zero Trust Segmentation isolates attacks so they cannot spread across your hybrid attack surface, which drastically limits their impact. As a major retailer, Brooks has a responsibility to both keep its customers’ data secure and its own operations running. At Illumio, we’re proud to help Brooks fulfill its mission and foster trust with customers by building resilience throughout its network,” said Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Co-founder at Illumio, PJ Kirner.
