Overall, Cisco VSG provides the following benefits: 

● 

Enhanced compliance with industry regulations 

● 

Simplified audit processes in virtualized environments 

● 

Reduced costs by providing security in a broad set of virtualized workloads 

Product Architecture 

Cisco VSG is designed using advanced networking concepts such as control and data-path splitting to provide 

efficiency, availability, and high performance while securing virtualized environments. Operating in conjunction with 

Cisco Nexus 1000V Switches, which are distributed virtual switches, in the VMware vSphere hypervisor and 

Microsoft Hyper-V, Cisco VSG uses the Cisco vPath technology embedded in the Cisco Nexus 1000V Virtual 

Ethernet Module (VEM), as shown in Figure 2.
