HyTrust just published info on their latest and greatest version of their appliance which will be released on the 24th of August and will carry version number 1.5. Hytrust sits between your virtual environment and the admin and enforces granular authorization of all virtual infrastructure management operations, according to user role, object, label, protocol and IP address. If you will attend VMworld I suggest you head over to their booth and ask for a demo.
Additional New Features:
- Support for VMware vSphere (ESX 4.0 and vCenter 4.0)
- Support for VMware ESXi (all versions)
- Two‐factor authentication including RSA SecureID
- Label‐based policy enforcement
- VM‐to‐host and VM‐to‐network segment control
- VM tag policy import
- XACML policy import/export
- AD policy import for virtual machine management
Duncan,
I have had a number of meetings with HyTrust (Eric Chiu CEO) and have had very good customer feedback on the HyTrust VA so far. They worked very closely with VMW Engineering on development, so customers can be confident that they have a product that meets a number of security needs as well as one that is reliable and works well in VI. Just my 2 cents…
