[. . . ] VMware vShield Virtualization-Aware Security for the Cloud BROCHURE VMware vShield At a Glance For organizations that want to leverage the benefits of cloud computing without sacrificing security, control or compliance, the VMware vShield family of security solutions provides comprehensive protection for virtual datacenters and cloud environments. vShield enables customers to strengthen application and data security, improve visibility and control, and accelerate IT compliance efforts across the organization. Key Benefits Go Beyond the Limitations of Physical Security vShield provides adaptive security that travels with virtual machines as they migrate from host to host so that customers can securely support the virtual machines in dynamic cloud environments. [. . . ] Today, VMware is helping customers unlock the benefits of cloud computing with the new VMware vShield family of security products for virtual datacenters and private clouds. vShield leverages the unique introspection capabilities of the VMware vSphereTM platform to help identify hard-to-detect problems precisely and efficiently. vShield also enables controls such as file integrity monitoring, rootkit protection and data leak prevention, and helps to accelerate compliance efforts with detailed logging that can be exposed to existing auditing and IT compliance management solutions. Leverage Existing Security Solutions vShield is designed to work seamlessly with existing enterprise IT security measures through REST APIs that allow for customized integration of vShield capabilities into third-party security solutions. In addition, vShield includes an endpoint security API that enables 2 / PROdUCt BROCHURE VMware vShield integration with existing antivirus and anti-malware solutions, and interfaces into broader security solutions for security information and event management, data leak protection, change and configuration management, and auditing. Secure Virtual Desktop Deployments vShield integrates with VMware ViewTM to provide more efficient antivirus and anti-malware protection for virtual endpoints and applications by offloading antivirus and anti-malware functions from individual virtual machines to a secure virtual machine that protects the host and all virtual machines on it. This approach streamlines security management and provides added protection against antivirus storming, performance bottlenecks and botnet attacks. vShield also helps organizations create logical security perimeters around virtual desktop infrastructures through complete network isolation and an array of network gateway services such as firewalls, VPN and DHCP. Using VMware vShield Secure Business-Critical Applications vShield solutions make it easy for customers to support applications belonging to different trust levels on the same virtual datacenter (e. g. , production and development, finance and sales, classified and nonclassified applications, etc. ). The hypervisor-level firewall in vShield ensures that proper segmentation and trust zones are enforced for all application deployments. VMware vShield optimizes antivirus and anti-malware security for virtualized environments through a security virtual machine (provided by VMware partners). VMware vShield lets customers create business-based security groups and protect critical applications from network-based threats. Enterprise Partner Extranets vShield lets enterprises extend their networks and application resources to branch offices, home offices and business partner sites through site-to-site VPN services that offer simplified provisioning, streamline administrative tasks and improve scalability. All traffic between sites is encrypted using IPsec to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of all site-to-site communications. PROdUCt BROCHURE / 3 VMware vShield Secure Multi-Tenant Environments vShield solutions make it easy for enterprises and cloud service providers to support multi-tenant IT environments and safely share network resources by creating logical security boundaries that provide complete network isolation for virtual datacenters. vShield also provides granular control and visibility over network gateway traffic, along with VPN services to protect the confidentiality and integrity of communications between virtual datacenters. VMware vShield Endpoint vShield Endpoint provides on-host antivirus and malware protection that reduces performance latency and eliminates the need to maintain individual security agents in each and every virtual machine, helping to simplify security administration while minimizing the risk of malware infections. VMware vShield Manager Included with all vShield products, vShield Manager provides a central point of control for managing, deploying, reporting, logging and integrating third-party security services. Working in conjunction with vCenter Server, vShield Manager also enables role-based access control and administrative delegation as part of a unified framework for managing virtualization security. VMware vShield Zones VMware vShield Zones, included with vSphere, provides basic protection from network-based threats in virtual datacenters, with application firewalling and policy management based on administrator-defined zones, using basic traffic information such as the source IP address, the destination port, and so on. VMware vShield integrates with VMware vCloud Director to ensure security and network isolation in multi-tenant private clouds. How to Buy vShield App, vShield Edge and vShield Endpoint are available for purchase as standalone products. vShield Manager is included with all three solutions. VMware vShield Zones is available as a built-in feature of VMware vSphere. vShield Solutions VMware vShield App VMware vShield App protects applications in the virtual datacenter from network-based threats. vShield App gives organizations the ability to create and manage business-relevant policies that adapt to dynamic cloud environments. It also provides deep visibility into network communications between virtual machines and granular enforcement through security groups. Support and Services VMware offers basic and production Subscription and Support (SnS) for all VMware vShield customers.
