Bitdefender Offers Agentless Security with VMware NSX-T Data Center

March 13, 2019 – Bitdefender, a
leading global cybersecurity company protecting over 500 million systems worldwide,
today announced interoperability between Bitdefender GravityZone Security for
Virtualised Environments (SVE) and VMware NSX-T Data Center. With this support,
Bitdefender delivers an agentless security solution for customers that works
with VMware NSX-T Data Center.
As organisations embrace new technologies, data
center environments become heterogeneous, and the percentage of workloads
running in public clouds continues to increase. As such, software-defined
networking (SDN) solutions must expand to offer a full range of networking and
security services, natively, in these environments. In response, VMware has
designed VMware NSX-T Data Center to support multi-cloud (e.g., AWS®, Azure®, and
VMware Cloud on AWS), multi-hypervisor (e.g., VMware vSphere and KVM) and
container (e.g., Docker® and Kubernetes®) environments.
“As customer’s build out hybrid clouds underpinned
by VMware NSX, they need the broadest possible ecosystem of solutions to
address their unique security requirements,” said Umesh Mahajan, Senior Vice President
of R&D, Networking and Security Business Unit at VMware. “Bitdefender
offers customers a proven security solution that can take advantage of the
pervasive connectivity provided by VMware NSX to deliver layered security
anywhere the application requires it.”

following benefits:

“Bitdefender is honored to be the first provider
offering VMware customers the benefits of agentless security with VMware NSX-T
Data Center and the only one to protect them against advanced threats with
tunable machine learning,” said Gavin Hill, Vice President, Datacenter and
Network Security Products, Bitdefender. “We value our ongoing partnership with
VMware, and their likeminded commitment to customer service and innovation.”

at the 2019 RSA Conference on March 4-7 in San Francisco, CA. The solution will
