Illumio’s technology decouples security from the underlying network and hypervisor.[5] This allows for a security approach that works across a variety of computing environments, including private data centers, private clouds, and public clouds.[6]
Illumio Adaptive Security Platform (ASP) uses the context (state, relationships, etc.) of workloads (bare-metal and virtual servers, etc.) in the computing environment and keeps security policies intact.[7]
Unlike traditional security systems such as firewalls that rely on imperative programming techniques due to static networking constructs, Illumio Adaptive Security Platform is based on declarative programming and computes security in real time.[8]
