Virtual Patching: Guarding Against a Tsunami of AI-discovered Exploits with vDefend and Avi

By Teddy Jewell
As the digital landscape enters the age of Artificial Intelligence, the traditional methods of securing applications are being fundamentally challenged. The emergence of advanced AI models has shifted the advantage towards attackers. With AI, even a novice attacker is now weaponized into a sophisticated hacker while operating semi-autonomously at very low cost, and unprecedented scale. Imagine the massive damage that ransomware gangs and/or nation-state actors could do with these cyber weapons. In recent times, ransomware attacks have led to business operations going offline for weeks and months, resulting in financial losses in hundreds of millions of dollars. ...

Introducing VMware vDefend Lateral Security Design Blueprints for VCF 9.1

By Michelle Plato
In the past, data center security mostly relied on perimeter protection—”building walls” to keep bad actors out. Today, safeguarding the data center’s “east-west” or lateral traffic traversing within applications and data is just as critical. Threat actors are leveraging “Frontier AI” security models to automate and accelerate attacks against private cloud workloads. To help enterprises achieve best-of-breed protection with significantly reduced complexity, we are excited to announce new VMware vDefend blueprints to speed up lateral security roll-out across VCF private cloud workloads and help organizations quickly buy down risk.
