VMware Contexa, the VMware Threat Intelligence Cloud
VMware Contexa™ sees what others don’t, powering VMware Security to stop threats others can’t.
Automate DevSecOps with Full Lifecycle Container Security
Bridging the Developer and Security Divide
Collaboration recommendations for IT, development and security teams.
Security Hygiene for DevOps
Security needs to be an inherent part of the DevOps process and automated during development, so you can deploy quality applications faster.
Full Lifecycle Container Security at the Speed of DevOps
Balance business agility and speed to market without compromising security. VMware empowers organizations to secure the complete lifecycle of Kubernetes applications. Detect and fix vulnerabilities and misconfigurations before deployment, meet compliance standards, and achieve simple, secure Kubernetes environments at scale.
Complete Visibility into Kubernetes Security Posture
Provide the visibility and control that Application Security and DevOps teams need to secure Kubernetes clusters and the applications deployed on them throughout the development lifecycle.
Scan Container Images for Vulnerabilities from Development to Production
Provide visibility into vulnerabilities and misconfigurations — from the CI/CD pipeline through the runtime layer. Policy customization allows DevOps teams to scan images deployed from third-party registries, restrict registries, and get notified of any violations.
Automate and Customize Compliance Policy
Create automated, customizable policies to enforce secure configuration and ensure compliance with organizational requirements and industry standards such as CIS benchmarking.
Governance and Enforcement
Enforce policies from build to deployment to detect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations and prevent them from being deployed to production. Focus on the most severe risks to Kubernetes environments.
Additional Runtime Security Capabilities
Simplified Runtime Policy
Customize runtime policies for your container environments and egress groups to enable SecOps teams to define the appropriate strictness of each policy and ensure compliance.
Visibility Mapping
Understand the architecture of your pre-deployment application architecture to quickly identify egress destination connections, potential workload policy violations, and vulnerable images.
Workload Anomaly Detection
Leverage AI to standardize networking modules and get alerts on any deviation from that module.
Threat Detection
Scan open ports to check for vulnerabilities, and quickly see if there is an attack in progress to stop attackers from gaining deeper access into your network and workloads.
Use Cases
Kubernetes security posture management
Planning your security strategy starts with understanding your environment. This requires visibility into running workloads, how they are configured, and how your Kubernetes environment is configured. You also need to prioritize the risk associated with each workload to effectively focus your remediation efforts. See how you can gain situational intelligence and simplify your Kubernetes security posture management.
Workload visibility and hardening
Kubernetes continues to gain traction as the leading open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services. However, the increased agility, portability and scalability are juxtaposed with susceptibility to vulnerabilities specific to Kubernetes environments. Gain insight into the vulnerabilities, how they came to be, and mistakes to avoid — all to help you strengthen your security posture.
Container Image and Runtime Cluster Image Scanning
When you secure apps early in development, you reduce vulnerabilities in production. Learn how to integrate security into your DevOps processes to easily deploy quality apps faster.
Automate container builds, sourcing, scanning and guardrails. Get visibility into your security posture across Kubernetes clusters and Dev teams. Prioritize remediation based on risk profiles and increase efficiency.
Security and Compliance Automation
Improve the effectiveness of your SOC through automated vulnerability scanning and network anomaly detection for your production environment, to ensure continuous compliance.
With VMware’s container security offering, we now have instant visibility to help reduce risk of our containerized applications all from a single dashboard.
