Core Protection for Virtual Machines
Designed specifically to secure VMware environments
While server virtualization increases efficiency in the data center, it also challenges the
security of the IT environment. Traditional security imported from the physical world
cannot fully protect virtual environments which are particularly vulnerable when virtual
machines are dormant or offline as they are unable to protect themselves with a virus
scan agent and signature updates. Also, resource-intensive security operations such
as scheduled full system scans can significantly degrade the performance of the host
and render the security ineffective, especially when initiated concurrently on multiple
virtual machines. To fully realize the cost and productivity advantages of virtualization,
enterprises need content security that is architected specifically to secure today’s highly
virtualized datacenter.

Core Protection for Virtual Machines enables enterprises to maximize the economic
benefits of virtualization without compromising the security of their datacenter. Specifically designed
for VMware ESX/ESXi environments, this virtualization-aware solution leverages the VMsafe APIs
from VMware to secure both active and dormant virtual machines. Layered protection uses dedicated
scanning virtual machines coordinated with real-time agents within each virtual machine.
