Cloud Workload Protection

The hybrid cloud is at the centerpiece of digital transformation. Today, more than 90 percent of enterprises report using a multi-cloud strategy, with most combining their use of public and private clouds.
As enterprise teams deploy and manage critical workloads across multi-cloud environments, visibility into the security posture of workloads and controlling the attack surface are critical for securing data and maintaining operations.
This white paper covers the key challenges enterprise teams have encountered in securing cloud workloads, and how to overcome them using the VMware intrinsic security approach featuring VMware Carbon Black Cloud™, VMware vSphere®, and VMware NSX®. This paper also includes a discussion of how the cloud forces a new way to think about risk—one that can bring cross-team stakeholders together rather than remain across the digital divide. A cloud workload protection platform evaluation checklist is also provided to help organizations examine key requirements when considering solutions.
