Virtualization Security

If you’re like many organizations today, you implement virtualized solutions to decrease costs and increase convenience. However, virtualization can create significant security blind spots that must be managed to protect the enterprise.

Vulnerability Management for Virtualized Apps
Many IT security personnel find it difficult to manage virtual application security because it’s tough to detect and scan virtual apps when they’re not executing. Plus, you may not even know where they are across your network, much less be able to identify their vulnerabilities.

To close the security gaps in your IT environment, eEye developed its latest version of Retina – the first and only solution to provide vulnerability management for applications virtualized with VMware ThinApp™ technology to help you:

• Reduce risk by ensuring ThinApp applications are properly discovered and integrated into standard vulnerability management processes.
• Increase visibility and automate vulnerability assessment for ThinApp packages.
• Decrease time, effort, and cost associated with the discovery and remediation of vulnerabilities within ThinApp applications.

Security capabilities for virtualized applications are included in the Retina Solution Suite. At no additional cost, you dramatically increase the ability to protect your organization’s private data and systems with critical features such as:

• Built-in audits to scan for common applications
• Custom audits to detect vulnerabilities in custom applications
• Step-by-step guidance to remediate vulnerabilities
• Centralized reporting over ThinApp application installations

Vulnerability Management for Hypervisors and Virtualized Machines

As the number and severity of virtualization vulnerabilities is increasing, effective vulnerability management is critical to the overall security of an organization. eEye’s Retina Solution Suite provides vulnerability management for hypervisors including VMware, Microsoft, and XEN-based, along with vulnerability management for virtualized machines.

Vulnerability management capabilities for Hypervisors and virtualized machines are included in the Retina Solution Suite at no additional cost. Find out more about Retina.

Ongoing Configuration Assessment and Analysis for Hypervisors

Ensuring appropriate configurations are being managed is a good proactive approach to mitigating risks and attacks in both the physical and virtual assets. To automate this process eEye is the first vulnerability vendor to support configuration assessment within Retina, our unified scan engine, for VMware ESX Server. With the built-in Retina OVAL certified SCAP engine, customers can use industry or custom benchmarks for their virtual servers to provide ongoing configuration assessment and analysis.
