EpiForce® VM helps an organization accelerate adoption of server virtualization by securing virtual machines (VMs), physical servers and clients on their network from a centralized management console. EpiForce VM security software delivers access control and policy-based encryption, both based on identity, to protect critical data and communications from intruders.
Working at the network layer, EpiForce VM deploys logical security zones that are transparent to users and applications, enabling security zones to be quickly deployed and efficiently managed from a central console. Unlike access control appliance-based solutions that rely on physical locations and IP addresses, EpiForce VM creates an identity-aware network that delivers security to mixed physical and virtual data centers independent of these requirements.
EpiForce VM offers organizations using VMware vSphere (VMware ESX Server, vMotion and vCenter Server), these unique benefits:
Deploy and manage security policies on VMs, physical servers and clients from a centralized console.
Create logical security zones containing VMs, physical servers and clients that control access based on user and system authentication.
Secure network traffic through policy-based encryption of data in motion based on identity to protect all data communications - virtual and physical.
Maintain security policy when VMs are created or migrated to prevent an unprotected VM from being deployed.
Protect data across mixed data centers running a variety of operating systems on disparate platforms without the cost or difficulty of modifying applications or network configurations.
Automatically reconfigures security policy if a VM is restarted, preventing a security gap.
