How TrueFort Compares to Illumio
TrueFort enables action across environments
Illumio provides glimpses of visibility into network traffic with little context around business operations or the workload behavior behind it. Unless users have a deep knowledge of all normal operations within the environment, segmentation policy is difficult to enforce with any granularity. With the TrueFort Platform, users can leverage any CrowdStrike or SentinelOne agents already installed to map application-specific behavior and tailor enforcement policies to fit each type of workload.
TrueFort vs. Illumio
- Rapid deployment, unmatched visibility
With TrueFort, CrowdStrike and SentinelOne customers can easily follow a few steps and the telemetry from tens of thousands of installed agents begins mapping to applications and their corresponding workloads. Within only a few hours, users can discover unexpected traffic that isn’t explained by network devices alone.
- Continuous and real-time behavior analytics
The TrueFort Platform applies machine learning to all aspects of observed workload behavior to provide an approved and trusted baseline of process, account, command, and network activity—including comprehensively documenting historical actions. This clarity provides SOC teams and application owners with the shared understanding needed to confidently adopt the platform’s suggested segmentation policies.
- Powerful, customizable enterprise reporting
With TrueFort, all analyzed behavior is available within a robust reporting platform with templated reports for a variety of audiences. From auditors and network engineers to data architects and threat hunters, dashboards are easy to customize to match each organization’s unique environment and use case.

Illumio
Deployment
Accelerated Visibility
Simple setup process with CrowdStrike or SentinelOne configuration to ingest telemetry across thousands of servers in one day
Paced By Agent Installation
Requires deployment of new agents on every workload in the environment, even those running EDR agents.
Behavior Analytics
Continuous and Unified
Access baselines from machine learning across network, identity, process, and enterprise application
Limited
No application-aware behavioral analysis or insight into service account activity
IT/OT Segmentation
Integrated
Align network telemetry and asset intelligence from Armis with application behavior mapping to expand segmentation policies
Limited
Visibility is limited to view from workloads with host firewalls and enforcement pushes to installed OT VLANs
Forensic Timeline
Continuous and Contextual
Dive deep into any historical activity from network connections down to the command line execution from one interactive investigation dashboard
None
No visibility into a continuous chain of events tying network and server activities
Incident Response
Real-time and Interactive
Respond immediately incident by blocking a network connection, killing a process, or disabling a user
None
No interactive response capability—only future policy definition
Service Account Protection
Behavioral Policy Enforcement
Review service account historical trends and easily tailor policy for each application’s behavioral profile
None
No visibility in accounts or ability to set policy based on user
File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)
Robust
Alert security teams when any critical files are modified, including details of what changed and by whom
None
No ability to view or alert on critical file changes
Compliance
Centralized
Access 100+ customizable enterprise reports spanning business continuity, frameworks like CIS, threat hunting, divestitures, and more
Limited
Very little reporting beyond pre-defined summary reports and dashboards
TrueFort vs. Illumio
TrueFort redefines cybersecurity by offering rapid deployment and unmatched visibility, leveraging existing CrowdStrike or SentinelOne agents for comprehensive mapping across thousands of servers in days, enabling enforcement in weeks. Unlike Illumio, which is hampered by complex integrations and scalability challenges, TrueFort provides continuous, real-time behavior analytics, powerful customizable reporting, and robust file integrity monitoring, ensuring a seamless, scalable solution for advanced threat detection, incident response, zero-day defence, and compliance across enterprise environments.
