VMware, a leading innovator in enterprise software, announced new innovations to advance the company's strategy to make security intrinsic to the digital enterprise.

New VMware Advanced Security for Cloud Foundation, which will enable customers to replace legacy security solutions and deliver unified protection across private and public clouds.

"We believe the best strategy and approach is to make security intrinsic, enabling organizations to leverage their infrastructure and its unique capabilities across any app, any cloud and any device to better secure the world's digital infrastructure - from networks, to endpoints, to workloads, to identities, to clouds."

A survey commissioned by VMware and conducted by Forrester Consulting shows that 75 percent of respondents depend on perimeter firewalls, however East-West security controls need to be different than those for traditional perimeter security as 73 percent of respondents believe their existing East-West traffic is not adequately protected(1).

VMware is specifically addressing the internal data center security challenge with the new VMware Advanced Security for Cloud Foundation, which will include VMware Carbon Black technology, VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer with Web Application Firewall capabilities and VMware NSX Distributed IDS/IPS. Each one is purpose-built for the data center and together deliver a unique and more comprehensive data center security solution.
