Virtualization Security

Solution Highlights

TBD Networks’ security solutions for VMware environments provide separation of security zones and network virtualization for VMware vSwitches.

Benefits

• VM-to-VM Protection: The traffic between virtual machines requires exactly the same attention as traffic on other network segments. Physical firewalls cannot efficiently inspect traffic inside a hypervisor. TBDVirtualFirewall closes the gap without the need to direct traffic out of the hypervisor for inspection.

• Compliance: Documenting compliance with policies and regulations is greatly simplified with every configuration change logged and past states of the networked fully documented.

• Improved availability: Systematic configuration roll-outs reduce pilot errors and configuration roll-back makes it possible to return hundreds of virtual firewalls and switches to a valid state within seconds.

• Ease-of-use: Many security holes are known but cannot be closed due to management complexity. TBD makes security fast and intuitive.

• Scalability: With at least one switch and one firewall needed per hypervisor, manageability is key.

Key Functions

• Automated Virtual Firewall Rollout: Changes to device configurations are automatically captured and archived.

• Change control: Changes to device configurations are automatically captured and archived.

• Roll-back: Individual firewalls or complete networks can be rolled back to earlier configuration states.
