“We believe that data is the phenomenon of our time. It is the world’s new natural resource. It is the new basis of competitive advantage, and it is transforming every profession and industry.

If all of this is true – even inevitable – then

cyber crime, by definition, is the greatest threat to every profession, every industry, every company in the world.”

- Ginni Rometty, IBM Chairman, CEO and President

Despite having been reported to IT when it occurred,

a response to the attack was not quick enough to prevent a

Security is needed for every desktop VM… so can’t we have it everywhere??

Why can’t we have individual firewalls for every desktop VM?

Data Center Perimeter

With traditional technology,this is operationally infeasible.

Cost prohibitive with complex configurations

Physical Firewalls

Slower performance, costly and complicated

Virtual Firewalls



bution

Securing East-West within VDI Environments

• Hard to implement

• Lots of physical infrastructure required

• Complex to manage

Organizations with focus on compliancy and risk mitigation will implementsecurity zones to protect East-West flows within the data center.

VMware NSX - Identity Based Firewall Rules (IDFW)

• DFW offers Identity Based Firewall (IDFW) functionalities:

‒ Specific AD security groups of users can be used to create DFW rules

– DFW rules are defined based on Active Directory (AD) membership (e.g. doctors or surgeons group):

‒ Define a NSX Security Group that contains an AD security group and apply it as the source of the DFW policy rule

• Users can use physical or virtual systems that have been joined to the AD Domain as the source - Destination system must be a VM.

VMware NSX - Identity Based Firewall Rules & EUC

Before NSX

• All Desktops on a VLAN can communicate freely.

• Once one Desktop is compromised, lateral movement cannot be restricted.

With NSX

• Micro-segmentation can granularly control desktops even on shared VLAN.

• User/Group based Access Control

• Control VDI to Apps access using NGFW redirection when needed.
