At the Vmware Partner Exchange Program, Kaspersky Lab announced its latest virtualization security solution, which delivers advanced protection to the VMware virtualization platform. This new offering will compliment Kaspersky Lab’s industry-leading agentless virtualization security solution for VMware vSphere users, which will continue to be offered as Kaspersky Security for Virtualization | Agentless.
The new light agent technology is Kaspersky Lab’s first ever security solution optimized specifically for VMware customers, and will provide VMware customers with a choice of agentless or light-agent protection. The protection and performance benefits of Kaspersky Lab’s light agent solution offer the “best of both worlds” over existing agentless and agent-based virtualization security models.
Building and maintaining a virtual network requires specialized software and expertise which differ greatly from the tools and training needed to manage a physical network of endpoints and servers. But too often, businesses apply security software built for physical machines to their virtual network, and suffer a multitude of negative consequences. At best, this "agent-based" protection leads to a wasteful use of computing resources - which is what virtualization seeks to improve in the first place - and can reduce the consolidation ratio of virtual machines and overall ROI of a virtualization project.
