VMware AppDefense Reviews

VMware AppDefense is a hypervisor-native workload protection platform for enterprise virtualization and security teams that promises to deliver the most secure virtual infrastructure and simplify micro-segmentation planning by providing deep application visibility, reputation scoring, and security.

The vendor says that, rather than chase the infinite threat landscape, AppDefense reduces the attack surface and implements a least privilege operating model by understanding intended application behavior and monitoring for anomalous behavior. The Application Verification Cloud component combines multiple reputation and threat feeds with machine learning models to enable application control, continuous vulnerability analysis of workloads, and high-fidelity alerts to respond to security incidents more quickly and effectively.
