VMware

Make your Cloud Infrastructure Secure and Compliant

Make your datacenter secure and compliant at every level: host, network, applications, data and endpoint. The unique introspection capabilities of VMware virtualization and its change-aware software plus our large network of partners give you comprehensive security and compliance with the flexibility for fast and dynamic reconfiguration of resources across datacenters.

 

VMware has cost-effective and adaptive security services and tools to let you build a trusted cloud infrastructure. Eliminate your patchwork of security solutions and use a single policy framework for deploying and managing security services from VMware as well as third parties. Ensure that applications and data in the cloud—private, public or hybrid—can be segmented for compliance, with different trust levels for different applications.

Gain Greater Efficiency and Control with a Unified Framework for Application, Network, Infrastructure and Endpoint Protection

Legacy security solutions often require you to patch together various frameworks and tools, and the lack of common framework makes visibility and control a real challenge. VMware vShield secures the datacenter at any level in a single management framework, which is integrated with vCenter Server. This framework lets you deploy and manage security services from VMware as well as third parties to reduce complexity and improve operational efficiency.

Use Role-Based Access for Network, Security and Virtualization Teams

Virtualization administrators, network teams and security teams can work together, each with visibility into changes and events within the infrastructure that affects their domains, using role-based access. You can delegate administration across resource pools and security groups with RBAC and clearly separate the workflow for VI and security administrators.

Adapt Security Policies Quickly and Effectively

With a single management framework, administrators manage all security policies in the datacenter and quickly update these policies as needed, whether due to business needs or compliance changes. Now you can host applications with different trust levels on the same physical infrastructure instead of using "air gaps." Compliance policies and security settings are attached to virtual machines rather than physical machines ensuring that security zones can be maintained even as applications on one virtual machine move to another physical machine.

Take Advantage of our Partner Network

VMware's security and compliance solutions are tightly integrated with specialized solutions from our partners. A few of our partner solutions are highlighted below.

  • Trend Micro's anti-virus solutions provide a line of defense at the VM and helps maximize consolidation rates while ensuring compliance.
  • RSA reduces the cost of compliance in a virtual environment with integrated security controls, helps extend existing security controls from the physical to the virtual environment, and advances endpoint security.
  • HP advances application and data security while simplifying management and day-to-day monitoring of physical and virtual infrastructures.
