Case Study: eBay achieves cyber resilience with Illumio Segmentation

eBay segments 3,000 servers with Illumio and avoids downtime

eBay, a major online retailer with a complex hybrid cloud infrastructure, faced the challenge of stopping lateral movement and enforcing least-privilege access across thousands of workloads. To achieve cyber resilience beyond traditional perimeter defenses, they turned to Illumio and its Segmentation product to safely implement a Zero Trust security model.

Using Illumio Segmentation, eBay first gained visibility into application traffic in observation mode before gradually automating policy enforcement. This solution allowed them to segment over 3,000 servers across 250 applications with zero downtime. The results included a 98% ransomware protection score, faster incident response, and the removal of legacy traffic and unused ports, significantly enhancing their security posture.
