Benefit from Per Workload IDS/IPS
Gain Elastic Throughput
Scale inspection capacity automatically with IDS/IPS functionality built-in to each workload, thus eliminating hardware bottlenecks.
Simplify Your Network Architecture
Reduce network congestion and simplify network design by eliminating the need to hair-pin traffic to centralized appliances.
Reduce False Positives
Achieve more zero-false-positive workloads with curated rulesets and higher fidelity signature matches based on precise application context.
Improve Utilization of Compute Capacity
Re-use existing stranded compute capacity and eliminate the need for dedicated appliances.

Read the BlogWhat Are the Key Use Cases for NSX Distributed IDS/IPS?
Easily Achieve Regulatory Compliance
Simply turn-on traffic inspection with a software-driven deployment model without needing to buy expensive appliances.
Virtualize Security Zones
Create and customize multiple virtual security zones for internal teams and partners without requiring physical separation of network.
Replace Discrete Appliances
Leverage NSX’s native IDS/IPS capabilities to replace traditional IDS/IPS appliances including standalone, firewall-based, or virtual host-based.
Detect Lateral Threat Movement
Granularly inspect east-west network traffic at every workload to effectively detect both known and unknown threats.
Expand Your Virtual Cloud Capabilities
Upgrade to a Scale-out Internal Firewall
Secure east-west traffic with a purpose-built internal firewall, built-in to the hypervisor and distributed at every host.
