VMware Accelerates Customers’ Journey to Zero Trust Security

Today’s modern enterprises are facing an evolving threat landscape and increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. They require security that is both built-in and built differently. More than 30,000 customers trust VMware to help protect their enterprise, modern and edge-native apps with a comprehensive portfolio of security solutions that are highly effective and easy to use.

With VMware’s comprehensive security portfolio, enterprises are better covered from endpoint to end user, and across application environments. Third-party testing from SE Labs certifies that environments built on VMware are better protected from advanced persistent threats.

VMware is now pioneering Zero Trust security inside clouds and data centers with secure workload access. Customers can better secure communication between workloads and apps, including data communication.

Moving to the data center or cloud edge, security has traditionally been implemented with expensive hardware appliances that are incapable of adapting to changing app environments. VMware is announcing the industry-first elastic application security edge (EASE, pronounced as “easy”) which enables the networking and security infrastructure at the data center or cloud edge to flex and adjust as app traffic changes. VMware provides an elastic set of data plane services for networking, security, and observability, and a unique scale-out distributed architecture that enables an EASE environment to grow and shrink as app needs change. Photo Source rfortier@vmware.com

For most organizations, rarely can they focus on securing only a single environment. VMware research shows customers are using multiple public clouds to run their business in addition to their on-premises data center.

Modern apps create a new set of challenges for both security operators and developers. These apps can be made of thousands of components that communicate via APIs.
