Modernize, Secure, and Scale Application Connectivity
Unify L4–L7 services, micro-segmentation, and end-to-end visibility with VMware’s modern application networking and security solutions. Reduce risk, remove legacy bottlenecks, and operate consistently across data centers, clouds, and Kubernetes.
The Challenge
Fragmented Controls
Inconsistent policy and blind spots across disparate networking and security tools.
Lateral Movement Risk
Hard to contain breaches at workload speed when east–west traffic goes uncontrolled.
Legacy Load Balancers
Slow provisioning, stranded capacity, and high cost from appliance-heavy infrastructure.
Multi-Cloud Inconsistency
Divergent controls and duplicated effort across on-premises, public cloud, and edge.
Limited App Observability
Troubleshooting L4–L7 issues remains slow, reactive, and labor-intensive.
Modern Attack Surfaces
API and web threat growth outpace manual defenses and static rule management.
Day-2 Operations Burden
Complex upgrades, rules drift, and mounting ticket backlogs strain IT teams.
Advanced Threats & Zero-Days
Traditional firewalls lack the intelligence to detect and block sophisticated exploits in real-time.
VMware Solutions Overview
VMware Avi Load Balancer
Enterprise-grade L4–L7 load balancing with AI-powered analytics, WAF, GSLB, and auto-scaling. Replace legacy ADCs with software-defined elasticity, real-time performance insights, and API-first automation for consistent application delivery across data center and cloud environments.
vDefend Distributed Firewall
Kernel-level micro-segmentation engine delivering zero-trust workload protection. Enforce granular east–west policies at line rate with identity-based rules, application-aware filtering, and centralized policy management. Eliminate lateral movement with workload-to-workload visibility and contextual threat blocking.
vDefend Advanced Threat Protection
AI and machine learning-powered threat detection with behavioral analysis, exploit prevention, and zero-day protection. Detect advanced persistent threats, ransomware, and anomalous traffic patterns in real-time. Reduce mean time to detection and automate threat response with adaptive defense mechanisms.
vDefend Analytics & Intelligence
Unified visibility and forensics platform for threat investigation and compliance. Flow telemetry, application mapping, and policy optimization recommendations. Enable faster incident response with rich context, automated threat hunting, and audit-ready compliance dashboards across all security domains.
How It Solves the Challenges
Key Outcomes
Faster app onboarding with software-defined L4–L7 services and zero-touch provisioning across hybrid environments.
Reduced attack surface via kernel-level micro-segmentation and identity-aware policies enforced at workload level.
Consistent operations and policy across data center, multi-cloud, and Kubernetes environments with unified control plane.
Faster threat detection with AI-powered anomaly detection and real-time analytics for advanced persistent threats.
Lower TCO compared to appliance-heavy, legacy models with stranded capacity and high maintenance costs.
Audit-ready compliance with versioned policy, flow telemetry, and automated evidence collection for regulatory requirements.
Security & Compliance Highlights
Zero Trust architecture with identity-based segmentation and workload-aware enforcement across all layers.
East–west and north–south controls with kernel-level firewall, threat prevention, and integrated IDS/IPS capabilities.
WAF for OWASP Top 10 coverage and adaptive protections for web, API, and modern application layers.
Advanced threat intelligence with behavioral analysis, anomaly detection, and zero-day exploit prevention.
Complete flow telemetry for audits: encrypted flow records, dependencies, policy changes, and threat events.
API-driven automation and policy-as-code for repeatable, auditable deployments and rapid threat response.
