Features

Blue Lane VirtualShield is a software based-vulnerability shield that provides instant protection for virtual servers on the VMware ESX Server 3 platform. Addressing the unique challenges of virtual server security, VirtualShield protects servers inside the hypervisor, including the unpatched, out-of-date, temporarily offline, and even unsupported legacy systems.

VirtualShield protects by performing a discovery of virtual servers, including the applications, ports and protocols. Based on the discovery, VirtualShield determines and provisions the relevant, application-specific protection for unpatched applications.

As traffic flows through VirtualShield inside the hypervisor, individual sessions are decoded and monitored for vulnerable conditions. When necessary, VirtualShield can replicate the function of a software security patch by applying a corrective action directly within the network stream, protecting the downstream virtual server.

As new software security patches are released by software application vendors, VirtualShield automatically downloads the appropriate inline patches from Blue Lane. Updates may be applied dynamically without requiring any reboots or reconfigurations of the virtual servers, the hypervisor, or VirtualShield.

VirtualShield:

• Protects virtual servers regardless of physical location or patch-level
• Eliminates remote threats without blocking legitimate application requests or requiring server reboots
• Up-to-date protection with no configuration changes and no agent installation on the host operating system
• Delivers appropriate protection for specific applications without requiring any manual tuning
