Can VMware become a leading cybersecurity vendor?

CSO | August 27, 2019

When you think about VMware and cybersecurity, two products have always stood out. NSX, which has evolved into a common micro-segmentation tool for east/west traffic within ESXi, and AppDefense, which monitors applications, determines “normal” behavior, and detects anomalies. Now, VMware has other security capabilities, but few cybersecurity pros know a thing about them. Why? Because despite its strong technology, VMware has never established itself as a cybersecurity vendor. Many VMware salespeople have a cursory understanding of the company’s security capabilities, while partners often complain that beyond its Palo Alto, California, headquarters, VMware isn’t proficient at driving security go-to-market programs with channel partners or its global sales organization.
