Incomplete or irrelevant feature sets within existing virtualized network security platforms.Security not keeping pace with the rate of application provisioning.Manual, process-intensive networking configurations to deploy security within the virtualized environment.Lack of visibility into East-West (virtual machine to virtual machine) traffic.Network security challenges in a dynamic virtualized and cloud environment can include: The more dynamic a virtual environment, the slower the timeframe for security to adapt to changes with virtualized applications. However, this dynamic, flexible environment, where virtual machines are spun up and spun down based on computing resources, can be one of the most challenging to secure. All this must be accomplished without compromising security. This means dynamic, agile movement of virtual machines (VM) across clusters and pods, and full optimization of compute resources by delivering applications of different trust levels in a single server environment. While organizations have gained operational flexibility and lowered data center costs by deploying server virtualization, the true objective is a cloud computing environment, where really tangible efficiency, operational and cost payload is realized. Together, we are transforming network security for the software defined data center – delivering new levels of infrastructure utilization and network efficiencies, while providing the best visibility, control and next-generation threat protection. Palo Alto Networks and VMware have joined forces to deliver a uniform security approach across physical, virtualized, and cloud environments.
