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.
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 lets customers create business-based security groups
and protect critical applications from network-based threats.
Secure Virtual Desktop Deployments
vShield integrates with VMware View™ 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.
VMware vShield optimizes antivirus and anti-malware security
for virtualized environments through a security virtual machine
(provided by VMware partners).
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.
