Security

Protect Your Apps & Data

Prevent cyber attacks and data loss by applying a “zero trust” philosophy. The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud provides native platform hardening, security auditing and reporting, and protection from network threats.

Cyber Attacks are on the Rise

Complexity Causes Vulnerability

Modern data centers are complex. Complexity is the enemy of information security. Increased attention on the public and hybrid cloud will only increase that complexity.

Threats Are Growing Rapidly

Your data is valuable. Cyber attacks are growing in frequency and sophistication. Research shows a 350% growth in ransomware attacks alone.

Data Breaches Are Costly

78% of organizations have been victims of one or more successful cyberattacks, with each data breach costing an average of $3.86M.

Solution Brief

Confidently Secure your Hybrid Multicloud

While hybrid multicloud security can be complex and challenging, strengthening your cyber resilience and reducing your data loss risk is possible.

4 Reasons You Should Be Moving Toward Zero-trust Security

Virtual machines and cloud computing are quickly eliminating traditional data security boundaries. The distributed nature of data across dissimilar IT environments has created new security challenges for enterprises.

Enterprises are Embracing "Zero Trust"

Zero Trust is a security design philosophy that assumes that any network, application, server, or user could be compromised versus designating trusted and untrusted categories of assets thus we must design our security protocols around that assumption.

Secure Development Lifecycle
Security starts with the software development process. Software should be continuously audited and tested for known vulnerabilities and secure design. Integration with operations helps ensure patching and upgrades can be performed in the least impactful way.

Platform Hardening / Automation
Security in the enterprise datacenter begins with a robust infrastructure foundation. Enterprises are incorporating automation into the process of maintaining a secure configuration of the infrastructure. This is to avoid human error and deliver seamless scalability without compromising security.

1 July 2024

Network Microsegmentation
Policy is the new network security perimeter. Microsegmentation is the key to the application of “Zero Trust” at the network level. Fine-grained network policy limits applications and users to ONLY their needed resources - preventing the spread of malware or ransomware.

1 July 2024

Identity and Access Management
Limiting what operators can do and see is critical to ensuring a lost or stolen credential isn’t used to gain access and steal data. Enterprises are implementing Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as another key part of Zero Trust.

1 July 2024

Data-at-Rest Encryption
Whether it’s data loss prevention or compliance with regulatory mandates, data encryption is key to a cybersecurity strategy. By encrypting data-at-rest, the risk of loss via theft or security breach is greatly reduced.

1 July 2024

Compliance, Audit & Reporting
Establishing and maintaining a security posture across the enterprise requires continuous security auditing, real-time reporting, and easy vulnerability remediation.

Security at the Virtualization Layer

One of the benefits of virtualization is security; applications running in separate virtual machines are isolated from each other and, ideally, it is very hard for a compromised guest to attack other virtual machines running on the same host.
