vShield

Catbird has announced plans to deliver VMware vShield controls into Catbird vSecurity through an embedded OEM partnership with VMware.

The integration will give Catbird vSecurity customers the ability to deploy the VMware vShield App as an integrated component of Catbird’s broad security and compliance solution for virtualized infrastructure.

Catbird’s vSecurity weaves multi-function security directly into the fabric of virtual and cloud infrastructure to provide comprehensive protection. Available controls include vulnerability management, IPS/IDS, network segmentation, policy enforcement, inventory, configuration and change management, as well as monitoring and enforcement in many other key operational, security and compliance areas.

Sourcefire, the creator of Snort and a provider of cybersecurity solutions, today announced integration between Sourcefire and VMware vShield App and vShield Edge.

The integrations enable the Sourcefire Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to configure VMware vShield App or vShield Edge to dynamically restrict any policy-violating activity within a customer’s virtual environment.

The Sourcefire IPSTM integrated with VMware vShield products provides users with application detection, application control and real-time adaptive security.

With this ability to enforce security policies, the integration between Sourcefire and VMware vShield solutions helps users reduce the risk of a security breach or data loss. The Sourcefire IPS monitors real-time network and user activity in a virtual environment, detecting policy violations such as the use of unauthorized applications on non-standard ports or unpermitted access to a critical host.

When a violation is identified, Sourcefire uses VMware vShield APIs to dynamically configure vShield App or vShield Edge to restrict the activity causing the violation.
