While over time VMware products have become more secure out of the box, these newer default settings are generally only applicable for new installs. Previous, less secure default configurations usually carry across as you upgrade your environment. The VMware Security Configuration Guides (previously known as the VMware Hardening Guides) include many configuration items that can be tweaked to improve your security posture, whether you’re in an environment that has passed through many upgrades or a greenfield deployment.
Runecast is a patented enterprise IT platform that provides IT ops and security teams one platform for configuration monitoring, vulnerability management, security compliance, remediation, upgrade planning and reporting.
Runecast Analyzer automates the process of checking VMware vSphere and NSX for compliance against the VMware Security Configuration Guides – in total, 108 checks. Each finding is mapped to the affected objects, with a summary of the finding details, and a link to the relevant SCG document.
With Runecast Analyzer, you get year-round, 24/7 visibility into your audit compliance posture. It allows you to get immediate visibility into risks and non-compliances inherent in your environment, allowing you to identify gaps between where you are and a fully compliant state, and also show as soon as any objects move out of compliance.
The solution runs entirely on-premises, with no data leaving your control. All analysis takes place on the Runecast Analyzer appliance. Move to a more proactive way of handling your compliance requirements!
Run it... you will be amazed by the findings. We always think that a lot of applications are secure by nature and by how they’ve been designed, but after deploying Runecast you really understand the gaps that you might have in your environment and it’s definitely an eye-opener.
