What is VMware vDefend Distributed Firewall?

To mitigate the lateral movement of threats in multi-cloud environments, it is essential to deploy a software-based Layer 7 firewall at every workload location. As cybercriminals traverse your infrastructure and ransomware tactics become increasingly sophisticated, the management of east-west traffic has become a significant concern. Utilizing a software-defined Layer 7 firewall enables precise enforcement at scale, effectively safeguarding east-west traffic within today’s multi-cloud ecosystem. This approach simplifies network segmentation, preventing the lateral propagation of threats while supporting swift and secure development as you move towards a Zero Trust framework. Additionally, it provides extensive visibility across all traffic flows, allowing for meticulous micro-segmentation and the creation of context-sensitive policies tailored to each workload. By incorporating a modern, distributed firewall solution specifically aimed at securing multi-cloud traffic across virtual environments, you will greatly reduce the attack surface and strengthen defenses against both existing and emerging threats. Ultimately, this forward-thinking strategy not only enhances your overall security posture but also guarantees a resilient and adaptable infrastructure in the face of an ever-evolving threat landscape. Furthermore, continuous monitoring and adaptation will be necessary to keep pace with new vulnerabilities and attack vectors as they arise.
