Gain Visibility for Security and Compliance
VMware vShield Zones enables you to monitor, log and block inter-VM traffic within an ESX host or between hosts in a cluster, without having to divert traffic externally through static physical chokepoints. You can bridge, firewall, or isolate virtual machine between multiple zones defined by your logical organizational and trust boundaries. Both allowed and blocked activities are logged and can be graphed or analyzed to a fine-grained level.
Ease Management through vCenter Integration and Application Awareness
VMware vShield Zones provides familiar virtualization-centric views of your entire virtual machine and virtual network deployment, easing the configuration of intuitive zone-based policies based on logical containers such as hosts, clusters, switches, and VLAN’s, and reducing the risk of errors. Monitoring and enforcement logs and security policies are further interpreted and presented as application-layer network protocols (e.g. HTTP, SSH, and SNMP) rather than raw network flows, enabling IT administrators configure tight and accurate policies around applications. |

Provide Assurance and Auditability of Protection
The internal network partitioning of VMware vShield Zones can ensure that network security policies are in place throughout the virtual machine lifecycle, from the moment it is brought online until it is finally decommissioned, and even provides continuous, uninterrupted protection through VMotion live migration. VMware vShield Zone’s internal network partitioning can easily be extended to provide a secure perimeter around the virtual datacenter – its enterprise-grade firewall can serve equally as a primary datacenter boundary or to provide defense-in-depth to complement a physical perimeter appliance. With a complete self-contained view of virtual machines, networks and policies, IT administrators can quickly and comprehensively audit their security posture for assurance and compliance.
