Case Study: Investa achieves breach-ready assurance and granular application visibility with Illumio Core

Investa Builds Confidence Against Breaches With Illumio

Investa, one of Australia’s largest commercial real estate firms with an $11 billion portfolio, needed to protect its reputation and business‑critical applications amid rising industry cyber threats. A small number of legacy Windows servers with unpatchable vulnerabilities and limited visibility into lateral traffic made segmentation imperative, and the company required a granular, infrastructure‑independent solution that wouldn’t require heavy reconfiguration or slow cloud adoption.

Investa deployed Illumio Core and its Illumination dependency mapping; agents were simple to roll out and quickly revealed application interdependencies and risky, unnecessary connections. The resulting micro‑segmentation gave precise control over lateral traffic without relying on traditional firewalls, improved collaboration with application owners, supported cloud migration, and provided executives clear visual assurance that any breach would be contained.
