Your Resource Center

To secure your VMware environment, it's crucial to understand your attack surface — the sum of all potential entry points for unauthorized access, spanning hardware, software, and human factors. These entry points can be external or internal within your virtualized landscape.Absolute security is unattainable, but acknowledging the expansiveness of your attack surface is the initial step towards fortification. Runecast offers an attack surface reduction checklist that helps in pinpointing and mitigating vulnerabilities. Following this checklist enables organizations to shrink their attack surface, decreasing the likelihood and potential impact of cyber threats.

Protecting Critical Workloads and Sensitive Data

Healthcare professionals deal with extremely sensitive patient data daily, including medical records, personal information, and billing details. As a result, healthcare providers and insurers serve as the primary guardians of patient's health and personal data. This information is highly valued by threat actors and must be protected regardless of its storage location, transmission method, or access permissions.

Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly common and are causing significant damage to organizations, exploiting vulnerabilities in systems to gain access and spread throughout the network, often causing irreparable damage by encrypting mission-critical workloads. 

The most efficient protection against any form of cyber-attack is to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Increasingly dynamic environments, the need for faster release cycles, and a growing number of technologies deployed in the cloud all lead to new challenges for cloud security. 

Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) emerged as an integrated and consolidated solution for more effective collaboration between Security and DevOps teams, enabling them to build, deploy and run secure cloud applications. 

‍

In this guide, you will find: 

• Overview of the industry trends and challenges that modern organizations are facing and how a consolidated CNAPP solution can help
• The unique value that an integrated Cloud Native Application Protection Platform delivers – core components of this future-proof solution
• Business adoption criteria and key questions to ask a solutions provider before making a buying decision

As workloads move from virtual machines(VMs) into the cloud and Kubernetes space, it is easy to lose visibility of the varying best practices and security standards. Monitoring and security are more challenging because IT administrators often need to use multiple tools for VMs and Kubernetes. Runecast on HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise solves this problem with a single interface by providing monitoring, best practices, and security/compliance checks for Kubernetes, public cloud, and VMs.

‍

Runecast automates compliance audits with NIST standards for security and privacy controls for government agencies’ virtual networks. Runecast automates the process of checking VMware vSphere, vSAN, and NSX, as well as AWS and Azure public cloud resources for compliance against NIST standards – with over 200 checks. Findings are mapped to each specific NIST control, clearly showing both the control ID and the relevant VMware Audit Item detailed in the standard.

Learn how Runecast can help your security teams with their compliance, security and vulnerability management. Runecast ends the myth of continuous compliance and enables your teams to do more with less. Runecast brings security to your infrastructure, from AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, VMware, to Windows and Linux.

‍

Running securely on your own infrastructure – whether on-prem, hybrid or public cloud – Runecast automates security and compliance checks for your Kubernetes containers, with insights into what is happening both in the cloud and on-premises. No sensitive company, employee, or customer data ever needs to leave your control.

A guide for business leadership on how to reduce costs and increase IT efficiency.

Businesses across the industry verticals are relying on virtualization and VMware vSphere to reduce capital expenses, improve business continuity and make their operations more responsive. Now that majority of the infrastructures have been virtualized, companies are starting to face ever increasing complexity that requires ever increasing resource overhead. This significantly reduces the original purpose of using virtualization as a means of simplifying the operations.

An overview of challenges with virtualization for all business sizes (e.g. interdependence, volume of Knowledge Base articles, reactive fault resolution) as well as the simplest means to address such challenges proactively and effectively, via automated scanning, log monitoring/analysis and security compliance checks.

Check out this informative white paper by top technical author Alastair Cooke!

• Without being able to proactively identify potential issues, resolution is inherently reactive and outages are just a matter of when
  IT admins cannot physically do what an automated tool can do – e.g. read and memorize +30K KB articles, Best Practices, etc., to find all possible misconfigurations and security gaps
  
• A simple solution exists and typically provides ROI from the very first scan
