COMPANY NEWS:  Global beverage company, Lion, has implemented Illumio Core to gain visibility over its IT infrastructure and contain cyberattacks.

In June 2020, a ransomware attack struck Lion, causing operational stoppages. With a wide range of infrastructure including information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) across different continents, Lion needed to strengthen its cyber resilience and minimise the impact of breaches before they affected operations and critical data.  

“After a ransomware attack, your obsession is to build a more resilient organisation. My top priority is getting ahead of the problem and deny attackers the ability to impact our operations or our customers,” said Jamie Rossato, Chief Information Security Officer at Lion. “However because we know breaches do happen, to be resilient, you have no choice but to assume you’ll be responding to a breach.” 

“Illumio core provides me a network and service view that complements other management and security controls. Once in place we’ve progressively implemented tighter preventative controls around critical assets and service boundaries.” said Jamie. “Illumio is also part of our post breach response planning and procedures – to constrain or deny unauthorised access.”    

According to research from IBM, the average cost of a data breach globally was $4.45 million last year (which is up more than 15 precent from three years ago). “Regardless of which industry you’re in, technology is essential to business growth. And to grow quickly and responsibly, leadership must be able to trust that the organisation’s technology and data is secure,” said Jamie Rossato, Chief Information Security Officer at Lion.  

Illumio illustrates network communications in a simple map, providing the team with the visibility and confidence needed to put in place the most impactful security strategy. Illumio Core has allowed Lion to implement dynamic segmentation controls that stop breaches from reaching their most important assets. In the face of attacks, Lion keeps the ‘lights on’ by isolating attackers while leaving business operations up and running. Together, this not only protects the business, but it allows them to better collaborate and scale more quickly.
