Operationalizing East-West Security: Customer Voices

In most major cyber breaches, the real damage is done not by the initial breach, but by the lateral movement and persistence of adversaries in the network. Hairpinning traffic to centralized firewalls creates complexity and choke points, making it impractical to monitor and secure every workload in the data center. This creates blind spots that attackers exploit. VMware NSX Firewall reimagines East-West security by using a distributed, software-based approach. What does this look like in practice? In this session, hear directly from customers on how they modernized East-West security to eliminate blind spots with operational ease. We’ll discuss their challenges, experiences, and results.
