Secure the Cloud with VMware vShield

•Achieve Better-than-Physical Security: Adaptive security travels with virtual machines as they migrate from host to host providing secure support for virtual machines in dynamic cloud environments. Applications run efficiently while maintaining trust and network segmentation of users and sensitive data.

•Improve and Simplify Security Management in a Single Framework: A single comprehensive framework secures virtual datacenters and cloud environments at all levels—host, network, application, data and endpoint, in a management framework that integrates with VMware vCenter™ Server.

•Reduce Complexity and Eliminate Bottlenecks:Reduce the complexity of endpoint, application and edge network security by consolidating your security infrastructure and eliminating the “sprawl” associated with software agents, security policies, dedicated security appliances and “air gapped” solutions with VMware vShield.

•Improve Visibility and Accelerate Compliance: Leverage the unique introspection capabilities of VMware vShield and the VMware vSphere platform to help identify hard-to-detect problems precisely and efficiently while controlling file integrity monitoring, rootkit protection, and data leak prevention.

•Leverage Existing Security Solutions: vShield works seamlessly with existing enterprise IT security measures through REST APIs. Get customized integration of vShield capabilities into third-party security solutions, including existing antivirus and anti-malware solutions.

Gain Trust in your Cloud with VMware vShield
•Reduce complexity with a unified security and compliance policy management framework for consistent implementation of corporate security policies across VMware and third party solutions. Role based access control provides a clear separation of workflow for Virtual Infrastructure and security administrators.

•Secure applications and virtual machines with adaptive trust zones, which securely isolate applications with different trust levels, and quarantine virtual machines that may have been compromised.

•Discover sensitive data to accelerate compliance by continuous assessment of IT compliance state and automated remediation of issues across virtual and physical infrastructure. Continuous dynamic discovery and classification of sensitive business information reduces risk and accelerates IT compliance.
