Illumio turns the Ignition.

Security outfit Illumio is announcing its first UK and Ireland distribution deal with Ignition.

The US-based vendor has seen growth in UK&I in the last few years and wants to double its regional investment.

Illumio VP Adrian Crawley said his company had a channel-first vendor strategy, especially in the UK and Ireland.

“In the current complex hybrid environment, many organisations have focused on replacing VPNs and figuring out the identity to connect people. However, they are realising they also need to contain potential breaches and ransomware attacks, which continue to rise despite security investments,” Crawley said.

Zero Trust is getting on a bit

Cyber security vendor Illumio says that 2022 was the year that zero trust “matured”. Whatever that means.

According to Illumio, channel partners and customers have embraced the concept and the levels of activity around tools and solutions in that category have increased over 2022.

Illumio senior director, channel and alliances EMEA Scott Walker said there had been a huge uptick in a number of key areas of both an understanding of what zero trust really means and, more importantly, how that translates into the problems it solves for businesses.
