Case Study: Mondi Group achieves 3-hour real-time visibility and rapid micro-segmentation with Illumio Core

Illumio Provides Unparalleled Visibility in 3 Hours for Mondi Group

Mondi Group, a global paper and packaging manufacturer with 26,000 employees across 100 sites in 30+ countries, needed better security and visibility across a heterogeneous, SD‑WAN–connected network that relies on outsourced data centres and cloud capacity. After two years of trying conventional approaches, the IT team identified micro‑segmentation as essential to prevent uncontrolled intrusion but required a solution that preserved performance, flexibility and simplicity.

By deploying Illumio Core’s host‑based segmentation and real‑time application dependency map, Mondi gained comprehensive East‑West visibility and actionable insights in just three hours—information they had spent years trying to obtain. The team now rapidly detects misconfigurations and abnormal behavior, click‑to‑enforce segmentation policies to restrict or authorize access, and achieves better security and cost‑benefit compared with traditional firewall methods.
