I would like to inform folks of another security option/tool, a managed/co-managed/on-site security option. For organizations who need assistance and are struggling with implementing a manageable and consistent security process for VM and Physical topology combined, we are here to assist.
DigitalStakeout's VM-Lockdown™ offers three shield solutions for VMware ESX 3x. These shields are implemented with four core technologies.
The four security technologies are:
IPS/IDS, Vulnerability Management, Guest VM Policy Compliance, Network Admission Control(NAC).
Hypervisor protection:

  • Protect hypervisor management network from unauthorized access
  • Comply with security policy for protecting the hypervisor from network attack
  • Validate secure configuration of hypervisor network services

Guest VM protection:

  • Protect guest virtual network from unauthorized access
  • Comply with security policy, protect guests from network attack
  • Enforce change control & management, control VM sprawl

Overall benefits:

  • Achieve best-practice security on your virtual infrastructure
  • Assure consistent compliance with existing security practices
  • Manage Virtual Security enterprise-wide from a single console in just hours

Let us demostrate the value you to you. DigitalStakeout is offering 30 day no-risk/no-cost trials of the service. Please visit DigitalStakeout's VMware security section or send an email to sales@digitalstakeout.com.
