Comprehensive Security for VMware Infrastructure 3
Blue Lane VirtualShield: Unprecedented Visibility, Protection and Performance
VM state changes and movement enabled by virtualization can quickly overpower traditional network security solutions and policies. Most don't even have visibility into the hypervisor's virtual network layer. This means that security teams can quickly become unaware of security vulnerabilities or be forced into restricting the benefits of virtualization.
The award-winning Blue Lane VirtualShield offers the most comprehensive protection available -- including application-aware firewalling, inter-VM flow visibility and analytics, application policy control, and intrusion prevention -- all in a single install and without any code changes on guest VMs.
Other security products drop packets and reset sessions, which cause application disruption in their attempt to stop “suspicious” traffic. VirtualShield’s corrective capability, combined with its ability to process and decode traffic, similar to how servers process and decode traffic, insures that there are no application disruptions, no false positives and unimpeded traffic flow.
Because VirtualShield doesn’t use signatures or tuning and makes no code changes on guest VMs, high availability with extremely low latency is maintained while security policies can be applied as a zone defense by VM, cluster or across an entire virtualized infrastructure from a single management console.
