NVIDIA and Illumio Partner to Strengthen Zero Trust in Critical Infrastructure

Illumio and NVIDIA have collaborated to integrate Illumio's breach containment platform with NVIDIA BlueField networking platform. This integration provides critical infrastructure organizations with robust security and operational efficiency across converged IT and Operational Technology (OT) environments. The partnership simplifies Zero Trust protections and enables organizations to deploy Illumio directly on NVIDIA BlueField, providing a comprehensive view of network dependencies and precise security controls.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 2, 2025 — Illumio Inc., a leader in breach containment, has announced a strategic partnership with NVIDIA to enhance cybersecurity for critical infrastructure organizations. The collaboration integrates Illumio's breach containment platform with NVIDIA's BlueField networking platform, delivering robust security and operational efficiency across converged IT and Operational Technology (OT) environments.

The integration allows critical infrastructure organizations to deploy Illumio directly on NVIDIA BlueField, providing security teams with a comprehensive view of network dependencies and precise security controls at both the host and network level. This integration simplifies Zero Trust protections and enables organizations to gain deep visibility into traffic, protect critical assets, and use NVIDIA BlueField DPUs as effective Zero Trust enforcement points. This approach ensures operational continuity while meeting stringent compliance requirements [1].

The collaboration comes amid rising threats and increased regulatory pressure globally to strengthen cyber resilience and reduce operational risk to OT infrastructure. Key benefits to organizations include enhanced visibility and policy enforcement for traffic within and between IT and OT layers, rapid deployment of Zero Trust for critical infrastructure, and improved compliance and operational resilience [2].

"The integration between Illumio and NVIDIA will significantly strengthen security for cyber-physical systems and bring us closer to achieving our vision of a world without cyber disasters," says Todd Palmer, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Sales and Alliances, Illumio. "Critical infrastructure is under threat like never before. Together with NVIDIA, we’re making it easier for organizations to protect critical systems, ensure operational continuity, and meet stringent compliance requirements in an increasingly complex landscape" [3].

"Cyber risks against critical infrastructure are more sophisticated and disruptive than ever, and lateral movement remains a key factor in successful attacks," says Ofir Arkin, Senior Distinguished Architect for Cybersecurity at NVIDIA. "Integrating the Illumio and NVIDIA BlueField platforms enables organizations to enhance visibility and control across IT and OT networks, reduce risk, contain attacks, and strengthen operational resilience" [3].

Recognized as a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Microsegmentation Solutions, Q3 2024, Illumio delivers a robust cybersecurity platform dedicated to containing breaches. Built on an AI security graph, and comprising Illumio Insights (AI cloud detection and response) and Illumio Segmentation (Zero Trust Segmentation), the platform empowers organizations to identify risks and contain threats instantly, enabling a Zero Trust strategy [1].

To witness the integration between Illumio and NVIDIA in action, visit the Illumio booth (E30) at Infosecurity Europe in London, happening from June 3–5. More information is available at [Illumio's website](https://www.illumio.com/resources/events/infosec-2025) [1].
