Introduces VMware Contexa™ Threat Intelligence,
Powering VMware Security to Stop Threats Others Simply Can’t
See
VMware Inc. (NYSE:VMW) today announced significant enhancements
to its unique lateral security capabilities to help customers
achieve strong security for both modern and traditional
applications, across multi-cloud environments. Ahead of RSA
Conference 2022, VMware introduced Contexa, VMware’s full-fidelity
threat intelligence capability that observes the breadth of
VMware’s network, endpoint, and user technologies. With Contexa,
VMware is reframing traditional security analytics with enriched
threat intelligence to enhance its security and management
portfolio.
“Threat actors are increasingly deploying sophisticated
infiltration tactics, including the use of stolen credentials in
order to exploit vulnerabilities and hide in the noise of
normalcy,” said Tom Gillis, senior vice president and general
manager, Networking and Advanced Security Business Group, VMware.
“In a world where the stakes in security continue to rise, lateral
security has become the new battleground. Combining VMware Contexa
with our architectural advantage, VMware exclusively sees every
process running in an endpoint, every packet crossing the network,
every access point, and the inner workings of both traditional and
modern apps to identify and stop threats others can’t.”
VMware Contexa Leaves Attackers with Nowhere to Hide
VMware Contexa is a full-fidelity threat intelligence cloud that
sees what other solutions don’t and stops what other solutions
can’t. With a privileged position in the infrastructure, Contexa
observes and understands the inner workings of both modern and
traditional apps every step of the way— from user, to device, to
network, to run time, to data.
VMware Contexa records and processes over 1.5 trillion endpoint
eventsi and over 10 billion network flowsii daily, along with
strategically curated threat intelligence data captured through
technology partnerships. This rich context is further analyzed
using machine learning and insights of over 500 researchers across
VMware’s Threat Analysis Unit and incident response partners.
Today, Contexa uncovers over 2.2 billion suspicious behaviors
dailyiii, achieving zero touch detection and automated, graduated
response for over 80 percent of these events.
Integrated into every VMware security product, Contexa will be
available to all new and existing customers at no additional cost.
The company that pioneered virtualization, now protects VMs like no
other—and is driving innovation in modern application security.
An Innovator in App Modernization Secures Apps at
Scale
VMware Tanzu is a trusted partner for companies in their app
modernization journey, helping them build, operate, and better
secure modern applications at scale on any cloud. Today, VMware
announced further enhancements to its Modern Apps Connectivity
Services (MACS) solution that allows customers to build security
into the full application lifecycle. With VMware Tanzu Service
Mesh’s capabilities, customers now gain deep visibility and
insights into the inner workings of application micro-services as
they interact with each other via internal (East-West) APIs—and
help to better protect them. VMware Contexa allows Tanzu Service
Mesh to understand the context of the internal traffic flows, and
therefore more accurately identify legitimate internal traffic from
the internal movement of attacks such as ransomware.
A Pioneer in Virtualization Protects VMs Like No
Other
A leader in virtualization, VMware has introduced innovative and
powerful distributed security capabilities for its multi-cloud
platform over the years, allowing the company to make customer
workloads more secure on VMware cloudsiv. As innovations in server
virtualization have driven higher virtual machine densities on a
single physical server, less lateral traffic is visible to a
network tap. This makes it difficult for a Security Information and
Event Management (SIEM) technology or security analytics solution
to identify lateral security threats by analyzing sampled data such
as network flow records or selected network traffic taken from
taps.
VMware has introduced new capabilities to help customers
identify and respond to malware and ransomware attacks in the
network by integrating its advanced intrusion detection &
prevention (IDS/IPS) and Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) directly
into the virtualization layer with VMware NSX. These new
enhancements, powered by VMware Contexa, now inspect and analyze
every packet and every process to provide extremely high-fidelity
alerts that other systems relying on sampled data cannot match.
Anywhere Workspace Platform Advances Security for Employee
Devices
New innovations to VMware Workspace ONE will make it easier for
IT teams to manage and better secure all employee devices, while
contributing to Contexa’s rich data set. VMware is today
introducing Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense, which incorporates
technologies from Lookout, a leader in the mobile security space.
The new offering will help protect employees’ mobile devices from a
wide range of application, device, and network-originated threats.
Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense can be activated within
Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub. For IT, this means there are no
separate apps or agents to download or deploy, and vital
information – including alerts and suggested resolutions – is
conveyed via a resource that employees use for daily work.
VMware is also introducing new Workspace ONE capabilities that
will make managing updates/patches even easier and elevate the
security posture of Windows devices. For instance, the new
capabilities will enable IT to automate critical updates to
pre-approved groups, hand test patches more likely to create
issues, and pause or rollback patches if an issue is detected.
Further Workspace ONE enhancements are detailed here.
Joins the XDR Alliance to Modernize the SOC
VMware is announcing it has joined the XDR Alliance™, a
partnership of leading cybersecurity industry innovators committed
to an inclusive and collaborative XDR framework and architecture.
VMware is well positioned with very mature endpoint and network
offerings that offer a high level of insight and context for
identifying and responding to threats. The mission of the XDR
Alliance is to work in collaboration to make an open approach to
XDR a reality for SecOps teams and help them effectively protect
their organizations from cyberattacks.
