VMware announces an integrated system
to automate distribution and enforcement of McAfee’s network security
platform using its NSX network virtualisation system
VMware has an agreement with Intel McAfee Security unit to automate
and accelerate the deployment of the main security services in data
center environments.
The integrated system will use the network function NSX VMware virtualization platform to automate the distribution of intelligent intrusion prevention McAfee through the data center.
Martin Casado, senior vice president and general manager of networks and security and VMware co-founder of Nicira, the acquired company, which is the heart of the activities of networks of VMware, said to 'now, is west - or Internal - traffic data center has historically been very difficult to protect.
In very simple terms, this is because the cost of implementing network security devices for each server that sits in a data center would be prohibitive, and as a result of the safety devices in data centers are deployed to inspect and protect the north south traffic, ie, traffic in and out of the data center network.
Therefore, if an attacker to take control, for example, a virtual private network (VPN) that bypasses the network security platform, he or she can wreak havoc with little risk of detection.
By virtualizing the Internet Connection Firewall, VMware NSX can essentially distribute firewall around each server and perform an intrusion detection (IDS) and prevention (IPS) in each package moving in the data center, not only incoming traffic or outgoing, Casado said.
"This gives you access to McAfee for more traffic. Before they could see only 20% of it. Now you can see everything," he said.
Speaking to Computer Weekly, Casado said that although the use cases of software defined networks and network virtualization capabilities (NFV) were only beginning to be understood, it was clear that VMware with automation network configuration and provisioning, security is the main single reason for deploying NFV.More information on NFV
HP launches the platform hardware, software and integrated to support suppliers and transporters communications services services because virtualize their networks
John Burke wrote that the network virtualization features goes far beyond the simple deployment of a physical device
service providers strategies NFV application are designed to minimize disruption during the transition from legacy architectures to a virtualized world
"Security is already 40% of our sales," he said. "NFV is very attractive for anyone concerned about security in the data center, and is fueling a strong interest and adoption for us."
The system consists of a new set model McAfee IPS VM-Series, the IPS-VM100-VSS PSN, which was specifically designed to interoperate with NSX, with Manager McAfee Network Security, Security Controller and Intel NSX NFV VMware platform.
Intel security manager operates as an intermediary between NSX and PSN, and working with VMware NSX Manager allows network IPS protection should be automatically to protect traffic between virtual machines based on the policies and requirements defined by the administrator, the creating an environment of zero confidence to provide a deeper and more comprehensive protection.
Administrators can experience an atmosphere of style plug-in, VMware said, which includes support for micro-segmentation, different security profiles, workflows, policies and groups.

The company needed to provide advanced threat protection evenly across your data center without increasing complexity. By leveraging NFV, which automates provisioning and supply of IPS and dynamic to meet fluctuations in customer demand climbed.
"Security is a key concern for our customers to be provided health services to patients quickly, safely. We use VMware NSX network virtualization to simplify and automate the delivery of Intel McAfee security DK through our new cloud "said Chief Technology Officer Matt ClearData Ferrari.
"This allows us to offer our customers the same advanced levels of protection against threats to your data center traffic with security controls aligned with each application."
