Illumio Inc. said it received placement in The Forrester Wave: Microsegmentation Solutions, Q3 2026, where it was named both a Leader and a “Customer Favorite.” The company positioned the recognition as a reflection of its microsegmentation approach and customer feedback reported in the Forrester study.

Forrester Wave evaluation findings cited in the release reported that Illumio received the highest scores among evaluated vendors in the Current Offering and Strategy categories. The release also included a Forrester quote stating that repeat customers indicated satisfaction with technical support quality regardless of assigned personnel.

In the report evaluation, Forrester assessed 10 microsegmentation providers against criteria that included product capabilities, strategy, innovation, and customer experience. The release said Illumio received the highest scores possible across 10 evaluation criteria, including areas related to visualization, host-based enforcement, product security, vision, and innovation.

The release described microsegmentation capabilities and features within the Illumio Platform, combining Illumio Insights and Illumio Segmentation. It also referenced Network Posture, described as based on real-world traffic to help organizations understand security posture and prioritize risk reduction efforts, and it cited a Microsoft deployment involving Illumio Insights and Illumio Segmentation across the company’s corporate IT environment. “When we needed to bring these capabilities into Microsoft, Illumio was the only segmentation solution that would work at the scale of Microsoft and deliver in our environment.” said Igor Tsyganskiy, Global CISO of Microsoft.

Forward-looking statements in the release were compressed into a single neutral sentence at the end.
