Illumio Inc. to be featured in WWT's ARMOR AI risk framework

Illumio Inc., a breach containment company, will be featured in World Wide Technology's ARMOR, a vendor-agnostic framework for assessing and managing AI risk. The framework addresses a challenge that grows as AI connects more of the enterprise: keeping a single compromise from disrupting the wider business.

Prevention alone cannot stop every attack, so organizations need to plan for what follows an intrusion. Resilience depends on whether an attack can be contained before it spreads across critical systems and disrupts operations. Illumio is bringing its breach containment approach into ARMOR.

The Illumio Breach Containment Platform is designed to help organizations see risk and contain attack spread across the infrastructure, applications, and systems that support AI. Illumio Insights and Illumio Segmentation give security teams visibility into risk and the ability to act on it, supporting operational resilience in increasingly connected environments.

Within ARMOR, Illumio maps communication across workloads, devices, and the internet to identify high-risk connections around AI systems, and applies consistent segmentation policy across data centers, clouds, containers, endpoints, and OT. It also identifies connections to known public LLM services and AI agent processes, and enforces segmentation through NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, extending containment to high-performance environments without relying solely on the host.

World Wide Technology developed ARMOR with NVIDIA and through real-world engagement with the Texas A&M University System. The framework organizes AI security across seven domains: Governance, Risk and Compliance; Model Protection; Secure AI Operations; Infrastructure Security; Identity Security; Data Security; and the Secure Software Development Lifecycle. With Illumio, breach containment becomes part of WWT's broader framework for securing AI environments.

“AI isn’t just adding more technology to the enterprise; it’s creating systems that are more connected and increasingly autonomous,” said Todd Palmer, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Sales and Alliances at Illumio. “That makes controlling how far and how fast an attack can move more important than ever. ARMOR gives organizations a framework for thinking about that risk, and Illumio brings the containment needed to limit its impact.”
