Host Security
Secure VMs on any public or private cloud
The need for host security
Linux and Windows® VMs are central parts of many organizations’ cloud native application portfolios. VMs offer isolation, compatibility and control suitable for running nearly any type of application, and they give users a wide range of use cases when running cloud workloads. At the same time, hosts require a combination of vulnerability management, compliance monitoring, runtime protection and network security to ensure they are secure.
