Virtualization Security

The only vulnerability management solution chosen for VMware's security reference architecture.

Virtualization is re-defining how IT operations build and deliver services, but vulnerability scanners have not kept up. Traditional scanners provide a snapshot that goes obsolete within hours or minutes within a virtualized environment where VMs go online and offline or change hosts all day long. Virtualized environments and the risks they present are constantly changing, and scanners need a continuous discovery feature that tracks these changes as they occur.

Nexpose's vScan and vAsset Discovery capabilities tap directly into VMware technology to ensure that security teams can continuously discover, classify, scan and track all virtualized assets within these dynamic infrastructures. Event information streaming from VMware provides relevant and accurate information on the status of virtualized environments, so Virtualization Administrators understand how the changes to their environment may or may not affect their risk posture.

Continuous discovery ensures that defenders have a complete and up-to-date picture of the risk posture of their virtual assets. Dynamic groups enable security teams and administrators to group and track assets over time to measure security risk strategies. And, scanning and advanced analytics capabilities ensure that you can track and manage those assets over time, confident that you completely understand what your risk exposure is across your dynamic infrastructure.
