Illumio, NVIDIA collaborate to enhance cybersecurity for critical infrastructure

Illumio Inc. and NVIDIA announced a strategic integration that enhances cybersecurity for critical infrastructure organizations. This collaboration connects Illumio's breach containment platform with NVIDIA's BlueField networking technology, delivering a Zero Trust solution optimized for both IT and Operational technology (OT) environments. The integration aims to fortify these environments amidst rising cyber threats and regulatory pressures. By deploying Illumio directly on NVIDIA BlueField, organizations can obtain a comprehensive view of their network dependencies. Security teams gain precise controls at both the host and network levels, allowing for enhanced visibility into traffic and the protection of critical assets. This integration also acts as an enforcement point for Zero Trust policies, which helps ensure compliance and operational continuity. Todd Palmer, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Sales and Alliances at Illumio, highlighted the partnership's significance in securing cyber-physical systems. “The integration between Illumio and NVIDIA will significantly strengthen security for cyber-physical systems and bring us closer to achieving our vision of a world without cyber disasters,” he said. Ofir Arkin, Senior Distinguished Architect for Cybersecurity at NVIDIA, emphasized the importance of enhancing visibility and control across IT and OT networks to reduce risks and strengthen resilience.
