Security with VMware NSX

During this session, we will be challenging modern security practices; covering how data-centers are typically built and how security is often bolted-on afterwards. With this knowledge, we will investigate how VMware NSX is drastically changing the security landscape. By giving the proper context to our data-center elements, organizations can automatically re-act to modern threats.

Introduction to NSX Data Center for Security (SAI2026BU)

This session will focus on how VMware NSX Data Center helps to answer the question, “How do you secure applications that are widely distributed and constantly changing?” By making network security an intrinsic part of the environment on top of which applications and data live, NSX Data Center delivers security policies and controls that are as ubiquitous and agile as applications themselves, no matter where they live. Find out about context-aware micro-segmentation and other key capabilities of NSX Data Center that shrink the application attack surface and improve your overall security posture.

NSX Everywhere – The Foundation for the Digital Era

In this video, you’ll learn how NSX, VMware’s Network & Security Platform, is at the heart of accelerating digital business transformation. We’ll discuss how NSX drives four key strategic IT priorities:

    1. It delivers agility, security, and scalability Modern Data Centers, supporting innovation & growth
    2. It extends security from the data center to the Digital Workspace, supporting secure access to applications from anywhere on any device
    3. It allows you to Integrate Public Clouds consistently manage, connect, and secure applications across multiple private and public clouds
    4. Most critically, it Transforms Security so that data, apps, devices, data centers, and clouds are compliant and secure.

And we’ll discuss how these IT priorities are directly linked to business outcomes around o accelerating business agility and innovation. o delivering exceptional mobile experiences. o protecting brand and customer trust VMware NSX is the Network Virtualization & Security platform that helps our customers make the transition to the Digital Era. Get the NSX Mindset!

Desktop Security with NSX

Most organizations continue to spend most of their security budget on securing their server infrastructure, implementing things like firewalls, intrusion prevention/detection systems and SIEM solutions. The reason for this is that’s where they consider their most prized possession to be, their data. But is that the correct stance? More and more cyber-attacks now start with phishing attacks on end users, using end user devices as the entry point of the attack. In this video we take a look at some typical desktop configurations, their possible vulnerabilities and where we can reduce the chance of attack by employing some simple changes without impacting desktop performance with NSX.

VMware NSX and the Data Center Network Evolution

Watch this short video from Gustavo Santana (author, VCIX-NV, triple-CCIE, and NSX SE Manager for Latin America) to understand how VMware NSX can positively influence on the architecture of physical data center networks. Here are some of the topics addressed by Santana:

* The evolution of data center networks from the 1990s to the 2010s
* Benefits and challenges of each evolution phase (STP-based, Multi-chassis, fabrics)
* An architectural perspective of VMware NSX
* A new proposed architecture for data center networks

The network virtualization revolution continues!
