VMware Cloud Foundation has security built in at all layers of the platform, providing resilience to workloads while also protecting itself. We'll explore these layers and talk about key strategies for designing environments that mitigate vulnerabilities, implement robust access controls, and leverage built-in security features to protect both workloads and virtualized infrastructures, creating a multi-layered security approach that addresses both traditional and emerging threats.
Bob Plankers
Product Marketing Engineer
Almost half of all breaches today involve threat actors taking advantage of the high degree of freedom of movement within internal enterprise networks to gain access to your most valuable assets. Traditional security solutions have left organizations in the dark about what happens within their virtualized environments, which has enabled attackers to lurk within for months before being discovered. Lack of visibility, limited automation, operational silos and security policies that are decoupled from the assets being protected have led to operational inefficiencies and unmitigated risks. Join us to learn about how VMware vDefend Advanced Threat Prevention enables you to turn on the lights in your datacenters and beyond and stop unauthorized lateral movement in its tracks.

In the middle of the Covid Pandemic in June 2021 my team discovered an indication of an ongoing Cyber Security incident which ultimately closed my employer for multiple days. What followed was a period of intense activity that involved active battle against a hostile attacker.
This presentation will explore the experience with the impacts of this event on our campus and what we have learned to help improve our resilience and will provide some information security and resiliency lessons learned to improve your defenses.
Participants will hear from the IT incident commander was on the frontlines of the university’s response, and what they encountered that was expected and unexpected during the response and recovery. Learn what worked for us, what didn't, what we didn't expect, and what we wish he had known before everything started.
