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 eorts across the organization.

Cloud Security Challenges

Many organizations are considering cloud computing solutions

and services as a way to increase agility and reduce the cost of

owning and operating IT. However, the recent customer surveys

on cloud computing unanimously cite security, control and

compliance as the primary concerns preventing adoption.

Consequently, organizations are looking for ways to address

these issues so they can leverage the beneﬁts of cloud

computing without compromising security, control or compliance

management eorts.

Secure the Cloud with

VMware vShield

Just as virtualization is indispensable for transitioning legacy

applications to new cloud infrastructure, it is a key security

enabler for cloud environments. As the global leader in

virtualization, VMware has delivered secure, reliable virtualization

solutions for more than a decade. 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.

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. This approach also helps to ensure that

applications run eciently within cloud environments

while maintaining trust and network segmentation of

users and sensitive data.

Improve and Simplify Security Management

in a Single Framework

vShield provides a single comprehensive framework for securing

virtual datacenters and cloud environments at all levels—host,

network, application, data and endpoint. vShield ensures that

the proper segmentation and trust zones are enforced for all

application deployments on VMware-based clouds. vShield also

provides a comprehensive set of capabilities to introspect and

protect hosts and virtual machines. These capabilities, along with

trusted solutions from VMware partners, ensure that VMware-

based clouds provide the strongest possible protection for

applications and data.

Reduce Complexity and Eliminate Bottlenecks

vShield helps to reduce the complexity of virtualization security

by enabling customers to consolidate their security infrastructures

and eliminate the sprawl associated with software agents,

security policies, dedicated security appliances and air-gap

solutions. vShield also prevents bottlenecks associated with

endpoint security agents by eliminating the need to install

antivirus software on individual virtual machines.

Improve Visibility and Accelerate Compliance

vShield leverages the unique introspection capabilities of the

VMware vSphere™ platform to help identify hard-to-detect

problems precisely and eciently. vShield also enables controls

such as ﬁle integrity monitoring, rootkit protection and data leak

prevention, and helps to accelerate compliance eorts 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

Secure Virtual Desktop Deployments

vShield integrates with VMware View™ to provide more ecient

antivirus and anti-malware protection for virtual endpoints and

applications by ooading 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.

Enterprise Partner Extranets

vShield lets enterprises extend their networks and application

resources to branch oces, home oces and business partner

sites through site-to-site VPN services that oer simpliﬁed

provisioning, streamline administrative tasks and improve scalability.

All trac between sites is encrypted using IPsec to maintain the

conﬁdentiality and integrity of all site-to-site communications.

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 dierent 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.

VMware vShield optimizes antivirus and anti-malware security

for virtualized environments through a security virtual machine

(provided by VMware partners).

VMware vShield

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 trac information such

as the source IP address, the destination port, and so on.

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.

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.

VMware vShield Edge

vShield Edge is a network gateway solution that protects the

edges of the virtual datacenter with DCHP, network address

translation, ﬁrewalling, load balancing, site-to-site VPN, port group

isolation and other capabilities that help organizations maintain

proper segmentation between dierent organizational units.
